CARLOS MENCIA TAKES ON
THE THEATRE AT THE FRANK ERWIN CENTER THIS FRIDAY!

This Fearless Comedian Mouths Off During “Punisher” Tour

 

AUSTIN, Texas – Carlos Mencia, whose smash hit comedy series “Mind of Mencia” has made waves throughout the US since its inception in 2005, will deliver the laughs at The Theatre at the Frank Erwin Center this Friday, October 20.

Mencia’s comedy takes on every delicate subject that most Americans go out of their way to avoid: race, sexual orientation, politics, religion, class and society. The liberally offensive comedian intentionally violates the politically correct. “I want my comedy to be funny, but I also want people to turn on the news or open a newspaper later and remember a joke or something I talked about,” says Mencia. “And if I give someone a different perspective and maybe change their way of thinking, then I’m doing my job.”

Tickets for Carlos Mencia at The Theatre at the Frank Erwin Center, this Friday, October 20 at 7 p.m. are $29, $35 and $39 VIP and are ON SALE NOW at all Texas Box Office Outlets (includes Central Market, H-E-B stores in Austin, Bastrop, Bee Caves, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Round Rock, San Marcos, Taylor and Temple; Ft.
