His adorable hustle won him many fans, but then he hit puberty and got fat. Therefore, Ray had to rely on his sense of humor to thrive. At 14 Ray made his whole family proud by deciding to drop out of middle school. He used his gift of gab to land jobs in robot manufacturing, corporate sales, nightclub management, acting, film production and more. Along the way, Ray began to bring that smart mouth of his onto comedy stages.

Ray’s background in acting creates a unique delivery where he doesn’t just tell jokes, he relives moments of his life right in front of your eyes. Moments such as the time he proposed to someone as an April Fools prank or driving around as a child with a crazy Puerto Rican dad who liked to pump the brakes and make Ray fly around the car and bump his head.

However, he continued to do another ten minutes of comedy. read more
