Pablo Francisco: They Put It Out There

An observational comedian with a gift for rapid-fire mimicry, sound effects, and celebrity impressions, Pablo Francisco delivers an off-the-wall, standup performance with few highlights but some solid material. The show kicks off with a clever routine about club DJs who become so engrossed in trying to make beats out of any kind of wild sound that they forget their audience has come to dance. From there, topics include aging fans of the '70s rock band KISS; Latino laborers outside Home Depot; a pornographic version of the interactive video game Guitar Hero; and the challenges of trying to pick up girls while working out on a treadmill. Not surprisingly, the most sparkling parts of Francisco's show involve impressions of famous people, including his funny take on various stars (Bill Cosby, Tom Cruise, Sarah Silverman) ordering a Subway sandwich, and his version of a movie trailer starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a tortilla vendor. DVD extras include outtakes, fan comments, an infomercial, and a photo shoot. A strong optional purchase. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
