A new play about the extraordinary and troubled life of late comedian Freddie Prinze Sr. - one of the first Latino pioneers to pave the way for future Hispanic entertainers including John Leguizamo & George Lopez.

 

The time is October 1976. The place is the IMPROV comedy club in New York City. Freddie Prinze, Sr. is giving one of his last performances, just a few months before his death. Moving back and forth between the stage and the dressing room of the IMPROV, Sonera interlaces Prinze's best comedy sets with original monologues that illuminate the life of the late comedian.
