Che has performed in the UK several times including two successful, critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe runs with his shows ‘Cartoon Violence’, his debut in 2013 and, most recently, ‘Six Stars’ in 2015 where The Guardian raved, “his effectiveness as a comic is instant”. He has also performed two sold out runs at London’s Soho Theatre. “a comic in supreme command of his material”CHORTLE ****Having been named one of Rolling Stone’s “50 Funniest People,” Buzzfeed's "50 Hottest Men in Comedy," and Variety’s “Top 10 Comics To Watch,” Che is quickly leaving his mark on the media landscape. A native of lower Manhattan, Che’s comedy uses humour to identify humanity in the most controversial actions. He applies street culture to world issues with a delivery that The New York Times describes as "a reflective, laid-back stage presence with jokes that draw as much from his city upbringing...as from blunt, insightful points that bring the abstract into focus.”
