The stories have been told with only a modicum of truth.  The women, the drinking, friendships severed and lost.  The facts are much more frightening.  Born to a family of half-crazed 3rd generation Mexican-Americans, Rick Ramos never had a chance.  Growing up with a loving, caring mother means very little when your father is a thirty-five year veteran of the United States Postal Service (some say he’s practically all heart), but through it all Ramos fought to establish himself as his own man.  Standing in the shadow of the “Greatest Asshole the World Has Ever Known”, Ramos knew that it was vital to forge his own way in the world. After years of studying the greats – Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Paul Mooney, and Richard Pryor – Ramos saw the writing on the wall and dove headfirst into the world of stand-up comedy.  After swimming in the sea of shit that is Los Angeles, Ramos finally broke through the Hollywood comedy scene, working regularly at the Hollywood Improv, The Laugh Factory, and The Comedy Store.  In 2006 he taped a segment for the Payaso Comedy Slam which later aired on both the Showtime Network and Comedy Central to great acclaim. Ramos is currently expanding his talents to include acting – studying at The Actor’s Menu Workshop with Bill Howey.  It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll, but Ramos knows that there is no success without struggle.  In the immortal words of his literary hero Charles Bukowski,  “What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.” DAMN RIGHT!

If you don’t know who Rick Martinez is you are staying home way too much. Mr. “Spicy Latino Nights” was born in the Bronx, New York, and quickly moved back to Bayamon, Puerto Rico. When he was about to start high school, he returned to the east coast in New Jersey for three years where he was a baseball standout, was awarded the “Charlie Hustle” award in basketball, and lettered in football, not to mention his boxing at PAL (Pol…ice Athletic League) for three years. For his senior year he moved to Las Vegas where he switched from athletics to theatrical plays. There, Rick achieved school wide recognition for the lead roles in plays such as “Night of January 16th,” “Baker’s Play,” and even played Danny in “Grease,” (minus the singing). After graduating from high school, his first taste of the comedy game was at the Tropicana Casino. He heard they were having a contest and it was called the “#1 Fool in Vegas” where he was the runner up. At that moment, Rick knew there was more to come. The diversity he possesses to be able to do different sports and his background in theater reflects on his comedy, that range from a clean set to “R” rated comedy, a few years later Rick Martinez felt like he was ready for Hollywood. He arrived in Los Angeles in 2002, and right away started making waves in the comedy game performing at all the major Improv’s and local comedy clubs. His very first appearance as a “rookie” comic was at the “Ha Ha Café” in North Hollywood where he achieved great success. He quickly gained the reputation of the funny man and was getting booked for shows across the nation from Los Angeles to back home in New Jersey. Rick was moving on up on the Westside. After one year, Rick was tired of doing guest spots over here and over there. Rick felt like Latino comedy was not getting the appreciation it deserved. He branched out to start “Spicy Latino Nights” at the Hollywood Improv and after 8 months in Hollywood he moved the show out to Ontario. Going on his seventh year doing comedy Rick is making even more moves to stardom. Rick is currently working on the movie “Lean like a Cholo” based on the hit song “Lean like a Cholo.” Rick has also appeared in the independent film “Up Against the Eight Ball” which was included at the NY Film Festival, as well as many other film festivals. Rick also surfaced on VH1’s “When Comics Ruled the World” and created “Latin Knights” which is a collaboration of the hottest Latin comics in the industry. read more

Rick Ingraham   started stand-up comedy at Stanford and Sons Comedy Club in Kansas City (little Hollywood). After two years in the fast-paced, highly competetive Kansas City comedy scene, I moved to L.A. and started doing comedy full time. I’ve been a regular at the Hollywood Comedy Store since 2003, performing 5 nights a week. I also perform at the “Comedy and Magic Club” in Hermosa beach occasionally, and I’ve performed at both “Laugh Factories” (L.A. & N.Y.), a number of “Improv” Comedy Clubs (L.A., Miami, Ontario, Irvine, Brea, San Jose, Tampa Bay), the Comedy Store in La Jolla (San Diego), Mandalay Bay Casino (Las Vegas), and tons of other comedy clubs around the country (Looney Bins, Jokers, Comedy House, Wiley’s). I have opened on the road touring with national headliners Andrew “Dice” Clay and Pauly Shore. I’ve seen some great places with “Dice” like Miami, New York, and Vegas… livin’ the dream… And I’ve seen the worst parts of America with Pauly, like Dayton, Wichita, and Brownsville… livin the Weasel nightmare… The unbelievable stories can be read in my soon to be written Autobiography “On My Way Up, On Their Way Down: Rising From the Ashes of Hollywood Burnouts”. read more
