Carlos Mencia will bring his side-splitting stand-up comedy back to The Orleans Showroom June 24 and 25.

After enjoying success on the L.A. comedy circuit, Mencia was named International Comedy Grand Champion from Buscando Estrellas (the Latino version of Star Search).
In 2002, he received a CableACE Award nomination for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for his HBO special, and was featured on “Comedy Central Presents.” His show “Mind of Mencia” debuted on Comedy Central in 2005 and became an instant hit. “Mind of Mencia” was one of the most-watched shows in the network’s history, averaging about 1.5 million total viewers per episode. Comedy Central signed Mencia back for his own original stand-up special, “Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached” in 2006.
