Stand-up comedian Bill Santiago is a young, up-and-coming Puerto Rican entertainer whose high-octane performances are garnering raves from audiences across the country. His parodies of Latino life bridge the cultural divide. He had his own special on Comedy Central. His hilarious show “Spanglish 101," a total immersion of comedic excursion into Latino USA, fuses a journalist’s curiosity and a stand-up comic’s satiric instincts.  The routine serves as a vehicle to address the realities and misunderstandings about life in Latino USA. Santiago develops his material with a personal ethic that pursues laughter while also delivering substance; that is, assuming the audience has a brain as well as a funny bone. It makes for great comedy! Followed by a meet & greet book signing! Bilingual Event.
