Chilean-born Pablo Francisco may very well be one of the USA's most outrageous comedians, and a man for whom no topic is taboo. Weaving together an array of characters and impersonations, pop-culture observations and clever insights, he has very quickly developed a large and loyal following, driving his Myspace comedy page into one of the site's three most visited pages. His You Tube videos have landed over 40 million views and he has over 55,000 fans on Facebook.

But Francisco is far more than just a viral comedian. He has released several comedy albums, appeared on MADtv, Family Guy, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He has had his own one-off Comedy Central show, and is currently developing a new one hour Comedy Central special to be screened next year.

After a brief visit to Australia in 2009, Francisco returns in April with more of his trademarked wit and versatility, performing impersonations of showbiz celebrities as diverse as Keanu Reeves, Michael J. Fox, Arnold Schwarzenegger, R2-D2, Kermit the Frog and Jackie Chan, as well as the king of movie voice-overs, Don LaFontaine.

Francisco's audiences delight in his scathingly accurate comedic impressions and by being caught off guard by his unpredictable transformations. Deft and insightful, if you're a fan of popular culture, Pablo Francisco is the comedian for you!
