Zack Quin — the Nuyorican comedian whose 694K-strong community and 75M TikTok likes have made him one of the most influential Latino voices online — joins AW Confidential for a raw, hilarious, and deeply human conversation about culture, comedy, and healing out loud.
In this in-studio episode, we dive into Latino identity, resilience through humor, and the unexpected emotional truth behind the character everyone knows as The Nuyorican Prince. Zack opens up about growing up New York–style with his mom and ’buela, navigating life’s chaos with laughter, and why comedy becomes survival when the world gets loud.
This episode blends humor, heritage, and heart work, from Hugo Spritz energy and mint-leaf magic to the deeper truths our community rarely talks about. If you’ve ever used laughter as a lifeline, this conversation will land right in your chest.
