No one is safe from ridicule in the comedy routines of Carlos Mencia. The Los Angeles comic calls 'em like he sees 'em regardless of whom he offends. That controversial approach has paid off for Mencia who grew up the 17th of 18 children born to Magdelena Mencia. Mencia, who stars in and executive produces the Comedy Central series, Mind of Mencia, made his recording debut in 2000 with Take a Joke America, and has released at least one new CD every year since. Mencia's specials on Comedy Central, along with recent guest appearances on Craig Ferguson and The Tonight Show, have caused the comedian's popularity to skyrocket. Carlos Mencia brings his newest and most hilarious standup routine “At Close Range” to the Tennessee Theatre.
