CARLOS MENCIA’S “PUNISHER TOUR”
AT THE THEATRE AT THE FRANK ERWIN CENTER SOLD OUT!!

 

AUSTIN, Texas – Austin’s Carlos Mencia fans proved last Friday that this comic really is one of the top performers in the country. Mencia’s “Punisher Tour” hit The Theatre at the Frank Erwin Center with a bang and a sold out performance of more than 7,300 fans!

A wildly excited audience packed the theatre to witness in person Mencia’s cutting comedy. He has a reputation that proceeds him as a smack talking, liberally offensive genius when it comes to his stand-up. His routines are centered on his opinions about immigration, race, politics and anything else that toes the line of controversy and crosses over into politically incorrect.

For all of his bold and unforgiving comedy concerning every touchy subject imaginable, Mencia is downright genial when it comes to his fans. He was available for autographs and pictures when the doors at The Theatre at the Frank Erwin Center opened, and again right before his performance. The sold out show was a smash hit for ticket holders; Mencia lived up to his motto that “If you ain’t laughin’, you ain’t livin’.”

Since 1977, the Frank Erwin Center has served Central Texans with some of the best in live entertainment.  The multi-purpose facility located on The University of Texas at Austin campus hosts a variety of events including concerts, family shows and sporting events.  It is also serves as the home court for the Texas Men’s and Women’s basketball teams.
