It is not uncommon to sense the anticipation of Pablo's audience as his fans await their favorite impressions, while being surprised by his unpredictable transformations. Those who experience Pablo's show for the first time find themselves captivated by his hilarious dead on impressions. Gene Lavanchy of FOX TV Boston calls Pablo "the most talented comedian in the business today." His unbelievable ability to physically morph himself into movie stars, singers, friends, family and a multitude of nationalities give Pablo's show a universal appeal. His rendition of the intensely melodramatic Spanish language soap operas on Telemundo and his narration of the action-movie preview with Arnold Schwarzenegger as a tortilla vendor bring screams of laughter coast to coast. This gifted performer continues to thrive on his creativity and the spontaneity of stand-up comedy, selling out concert venues, universities and comedy clubs alike. Pablo continually pushes the envelope, constantly writing and refining new material.
Pablo was captivated by the comedy sets he watched on Carson and Letterman at the impressionable age of 13. Armed with a VCR his dad bought, Francisco started taping every comedy set possible. By the age of 17, the young Tucson native's path to success was clear and, after his first open mic night, it wasn't long before the world famous Improv comedy club chain discovered his undeniable talent.
Now, the 30 something L.A. resident, is living his passion and fulfilling his destiny. In 2006 he starred in his own critically acclaimed one hour special on Comedy Central entitled, "OUCH!" DVDTALK calls "OUCH!" "Truly original and funny." In addition to his Comedy Central specials Pablo has appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Comedy Central's "The Show Biz Show w/ David Spade," "Mind of Mencia," and has been a cast member on the Fox Network's sketch comedy show "Mad TV." Pablo has loaned his voice talents to FOX's animated feature "Family Guy," and has hosted TBS's "Late Night Laughs" sponsored by Sierra Mist. This talented performer has entertained hundreds at the Montreal Comedy Festival, and the HBO/Sierra Mist Las Vegas Comedy Festival. Francisco was nominated for Comedian of the Year by the American Comedy Awards and has starred in national commercials for Church's Chicken, Coca Cola and Citibank with Elton John. Francisco can be seen regularly as the host of Latino Laugh Festival "The Show" on SiTV. Pablo co-starred in Paul Rodriguez' "Comedy Rehab" in May, 2009.
