This week, Jack Dawkins is joined by Oscar Collazos. They discuss his experience as a comedian with Colombian roots and organizing a tour with 24 shows!ABOUT OSCAR COLLAZOSOscar Collazos is a Colombian-American bilingual stand-up comedian, actor, writer and voice over artist in New York City.Oscar's passion for entertaining came at a very young age. Born in Cali, Colombia, his family moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida when he was just seven years old. Desperate to try to fit in, Oscar would act out in class drawing laughs from his classmates but stares from his teachers. Oscar was voted the funniest person in his third grade class and ran home to tell his parents the good news, but it wasn't what they wanted to hear.Later on while attending the University of Florida, he interned at NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien. This led him to try stand-up comedy and the rest is history. Now a seasoned veteran more than twenty years in, Oscar can be seen at comedy clubs and theaters across the country still doing what he's loved to do since third grade - making people laugh.You can catch him performing in New York City or in South Florida as well as traveling the nation with the Hilarious Colombian Americans.www.oscarcollazos.comInstagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok: @colombiancomicABOUT JACK DAWKINSJack Dawkins is a storyteller, a rapper, and a poet. He also cooks good food and runs really far. His use of the English language has been compared to Michael Phelps’ performance on Saturday Night Live: Wildly entertaining for none of the reasons you would expect. He is, at his core, and in his music, deeply human, and a lover of excessive comma use. Most importantly, he loves you.SpotifyApple MusicIGTikTokTwitterYouTubewww.jackdawkinsraps.com/linktreeMusic: https://open.spotify.com/track/5TMLeqJiL2WMPoAcWKhGZz?si=4e6748ab641b46bcSHOW NOTES1:16: Oscar starts with some of his favorite days on his Hilarious Colombians National Tour.
