Bio (I figured you would want a more comedy centric one, this gave me an opportunity to update the bio on my website.)
- " Actor, Comedian and Novelty Mug Collector; Patricio Fabian Mendoza, has been studying performing arts since 2007, learning to operate from a place of honesty. Writing humor around what he knows. This self-deprecating style of humor takes what life throws at him, finds the funny and pitches it back as laughter. From Vancouver to Seattle, this starting stand-up has hit a litany of shows, from showcases, to participating in competitions such as "Funniest MF," "Comedy and a Cause," "Cash for Comedy," as well as being a Finalist in the 22nd Annual “FunnyFest” Competition in Calgary, and opened for headlining comedian Eric Johnston for an exclusive show at Vancouver Film School."
Stories (Most of my jokes are based on true stories)
- For a 1960s themed Spirit day in High School. I dressed up as the original all-white Cowboy version of Ghost Rider, and everyone thought I was dressed as a Klansmen. It didn't help that when I took the cowboy hat off my cowl/face hood stuck straight up.
- I full-on shart my pants after a 3 hour drive back home where I was running on nothing but gas station coffee.
- I recently performed a whole 5 minute set while out of breath at the Funniest MF competition, because I thought it would be a good idea to do laps on stage.
- When I was living in Florida I shared a bed with my male chinese roommate on a road trip to Key West, because I was too shy to ask the front desk for an extra bed.
Goals
- I want to be able to perform a solid 30 minutes on stage by the end of August.
- I want to make someone laugh so hard they fall over.
- I want to finally pay off my credit card that's been maxed out since producing my first short film last year.
- I want to produce more short films, and eventually write and produce a feature length film.
- I want to finish writing the story bible for a sitcom idea I've had boiling in my head for awhile
- I want to be able to live off my entertainment work be it acting, stand-up, or producing
- I would love to eventually run a business where I work with international comic book creators and writers to translate and publish their work and characters for english speaking audiences
