Rex Navarrete is pretty much the reigning king of Philippine comedy, but his Pinoy witticisms will amuse even those who don’t know lechón from a lemon. His low-key style draws on the long, deep traditions of comedy in the Philippines but with a contemporary bite.

You may have seen him on Lopez Tonight or Gotham Comedy Live; check him out here in town at the Comedy Mix, where he headlines from Thursday to Saturday (September 24 to 26).
