Eugene Torres comedy show

Rising comedian Eugene Torres was born in Gainesville, FL, but he didnt stick around
there long. A couple months prior to his birth, the police arrested Danny Rolling (a.k.a.
The Gainesville Ripper) walking distance from the Torres household. As soon as
Eugene took his first breath, his family decided to escape the craziness, and they
moved to a small town in the Midwest. Hes essentially a serial killer refugee.
The new town had a population of 200 people. Out of that, Eugenes family were the
only Latinos. With that being said, every year Eugene would visit his grandparents in
New York. It was like going to a Puerto Rican boot camp. He watched television in
Spanish, ate rice and beans all day, drank coffee from a sock, and ran around with
Abuelos roosters.
Eugene has been on stage since he was able to walk due to his mother putting him in
pageants as a child. Although its a bit embarrassing now, thats where his passion for
performing originated. He has always craved excitement. Eugene has done everything
from being an MMA fighter to wrestling alligators, and he brings those stories plus other
crazy experiences to the stage every show.
Eugene Torres has performed at clubs, colleges, and military bases all over the country.
Hes been on FOX, acted in a Super Bowl commercial, and worked with some of the
biggest names in comedy such as Russell Peters, Luis J. Gomez, Carlos Mencia, and a
lot more.
