Rex Navarrete’s Bio

Rex Navarrete remains one of the hardest working, relatively unknown American comedian today though he’s performed alongside notable national headliners like Robin Williams, George Lopez, Russell Peters, and Ali Wong, among many others, over the past three decades. He does plan to release many more comedy albums and live concerts for streaming for his fans to enjoy. His most popular concert film, "Badass Madapaka", was filmed in front of a sold-out crowd at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. Currently he travels internationally throughout Asia, Europe, Australia, Canada and for the US Armed Forces bringing his brand of "Pinoy" humor to a wider audience. You may have seen him on "Lopez Tonight", "Live at Gotham", "MyxTV" and "MTV Philippines". Most recently, he launched his new podcast, “The Flip Chronicles”, where he sits down with notable and not yet discovered Filipinos from around the globe in conversation. The future seems to only give him the chance to connect with a larger audience that is now finally getting the opportunity to experience the changing face of American stand-up comedy.
