Carlos Ballarta at Crest Theatre

Carlos Ballarta

Mexican comedian Carlos Ballarta is touring across the States this fall. Not one to follow in the footsteps of others, Ballarta is the first comic to have performed their whole set in Spanish at multiple venues, including Montreal's Just for Laughs comedy festival.

Famed for his dark sense of humor, Ballarta typically focuses on topics such as politics and religion, with a splash of family life thrown in for good measure.
