Who is Ricardo O’Farril, the Mexican standupero who was not allowed to enter Mau Nieto’s wedding

Ricardo O’Farrill He made a live broadcast from his Instagram account where he exhibited Mexican comedians and influencers as well as certain events that have put the first Mexican standupero who achieved fame for his planned and acid comedy in the eye of the hurricane. led to venture into national television for TV Azteca and Netflix with more than one content.

Ricardo rose to fame in 2011 in full expansion of social networks, where he consolidated himself thanks to his content on Vine, a platform that allowed him to make fun of everyday situations and even his family.

His popularity helped him join the ranks of the Ajusco television station and share credits on Comedy Central Presents with other standupers who are now widely recognized, such as Sofía Niño de Rivera and Mau Nieto, who this week was also attacked for his macho jokes.

But his arrival at Netflix helped him double his fame. With the specials Abrazo Genial and Abrazo Navideño, he became the first Mexican to reach this streaming platform.

The comedian is aware that he is intolerant of politically incorrect times, as he confessed a few months ago to Infobae Mexico: “I think that this dialogue, this era of offending you at first bothered me a lot and affected me a lot. Now I see it as a good challenge to do comedy, I see it as a good way to explore other ways of creating arguments to make the audience laugh.”

On that occasion, O’Farrill reiterated that if someone wants to touch on a controversial issue, He must understand that there are limitations with the public and also for himself as a comedian.

“You have to know how far you are being smart with that argumentto what extent are you being funny and to what extent is it simply offending, which is no longer cool, “he added.

When questioned about the topics that he would never address, the standupero said: “You can say there’s a topic you’d never make a joke about and suddenly you’re doing it, or you can say you’ll make a joke about that topic and then you don’t laugh anymore. What one of my favorite comedians, Doug Stanhope, says is that you as an audience if you were sitting in the show and you laughed at the down syndrome jokes, you laughed at the AIDS joke, but they played the Judaism joke and there you were offended, because you are a Jew, the one who is wrong is you because you laughed at the issues that did not directly affect you. That is the part that as an audience you have to understand when entering a comedy show ”.

On the way of doing comedy in Mexico, Ricardo O’Farrill evidenced the rudimentary way in which the country still works in this entertainment sector.

“You need to take comedy more seriously. In America it’s an industry, in England it’s an industry, people take it as a job. Unfortunately, for many people here, stand up continues to be like going to a bar, having a beer (beer), going on stage and seeing what happens, ”she commented.
