John Mendoza at The Riviera Hotel & Casino

Headlines August 16- 22

Also Performing: Sadiki Fuller and Frank Lucero

If you haven’t seen John’s stand-up act,  you’re missing something.  He can, and actually only really does: make these tiny one sentence statements, and they are hilariously funny.  His “comic delivery” is so very special, and unique, only to him.

A vernacular note: I happen to know a lot of comedians, from my New York City days.  And they don’t call themselves comedians, usually; they call themselves”comics“.  Yeah, like the comic book, only they mean someone who does standup comedy.

I am sure that Mendoza’s comedy won’t translate all that well to a page.  It really is true when I say, in general, about him: “You hadda be there”. If you are, you are probably laughing on the floor; while simultaneously, amazed, that he was able to turn an itty-bitty amount of words into something so unexpectedly hilarious.

He’s sometimes scathingly mean with his viewpoint, or sarcastic; and it’s still hilarious.

Never once, does he crack a smile.  Nor does he even add any expression.  He’s deadpan, exponentially. And it’s that mix, the way he maintains his attitude and expression, with his comic statement, that makes tear-up-funny moments.

Throughout, he maintains his “Mendoza-ness”; giving off the impression that he’s barely interested, even; and this is while he is onstage.  That happens in “real life” too, by the way. He is the same.
