Fireman turned comedian, those skills come in handy when his audiences need resuscitation from extreme laughter! Exploding with dynamite talent, Alex is sending crowds into fits of side-splitting laughter worldwide!

“The Champion of Comedians!” and not just in his own mind… Alex is the Showtime at the Apollo “TKO Comedy Champion of 2002.” And it doesn’t stop there. Alex has toured the world and is still being talked about in Japan, Italy, Spain, England, and Bosnia! Media success includes two Wrigley's and two MGD television commercials that are currently airing nationally.

One of the hottest and most sought after comedians’ touring today, this Hispanic comedian is extremely athletic, and a nimble dancer, great skills when you’re climbing to the top! Alex has both headlined and featured at The Apollo, Funny Bones and The Improvs. He has rocked the stage as opener for Bernie Mac, Eddie Griffin, D.L. Hughley, Bobcat Goldthwaite and Michael Winslow.

Alex is a founding member and writer of the Forgotten City Comedy Troupe, the Hottest Urban Sketch Group in the country. Alex does impressions, dialects, cartoon character voices and of course is bilingual. Alex also writes and sings song parodies that rival Weird Al Yankovic. He is a loyal dedicated family man, and was voted the "Hot Sexy Fireman of the Year!"... By his wife!!!

Alex Ortiz, “A must see show!” coming to a stage near you soon!
