Gene Pompa, comedian and writer, was born in East Los Angeles
California. He has been a Mexican-American most of his life,
except for a few years during
the 1970's, when he was a practicing Chicano. Gene
became a product of his multi-ethnic upbringing in the suburbs
of Los
Angeles and it was this diverse background which ultimately inspired
Gene to incorporate universal themes into his stand-up comedy
and
writing.
Gene's television
credits include several appearances on NBC's Late Night with
Conan OBrien and CBS's Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. Pompa
has also starred
in
his own half hour Comedy Central special as well as a
30 minute comedy showcase on SiTV. His acting has been featured
on FOX's
In
Living Color, CBS's Style & Substance and The Brothers
Garcia on Nickelodean. You may have also seen Gene on Showtime,
HBO,
MTV, MUN2,
Galavision or the Game Show Network.
Pompa's offbeat
perspective on comedy crosses all racial and ethnic lines and
goes over well with everyone from college age audiences to
a more mature crowd. Greatly influenced by Johnny Carson, David
Letterman and Steve Martin, Gene Pompa has been inspired to
develop his own brand of late-night humor with "The Nite
Nite Show"
- a show with great social relavance and irrelevance.
