The funny man Carlos Mencia is coming to the Paramount theater for one show. Come out to Seattle for a funny time. There is some interesting info found below about him. Here is some info from wikipedia:

Ned Arnel Mencía was born the seventeenth of eighteen children in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. At the time of his birth, his Mexican mother, Magdelena Mencía, was engaged in a domestic dispute with his Honduran father, Roberto Holness, and declined to give her son his biological father’s last name. The name appearing on his birth certificate is “Ned Arnel Mencía”, although Mencia has said that out of respect for his biological father he went by the Holness name anyway, and was known as Ned Holness until he was 18 years old.

Mencia was raised in East Los Angeles, California by his aunt Consuelo and uncle Pablo Mencia. By his own admission, staying out of trouble was difficult while growing up, but with the help of his family he excelled in school and stayed out of gangs. He majored in electrical engineering at California State University, Los Angeles, but left early to pursue a career in comedy after a successful performance at an open mic night at The Laugh Factory. He also has an older brother named Joseph Mencia who often appears on Mind of Mencia.

Mencia currently lives with his wife, Amy, in the Los Angeles area in California. They have one child, Lucas Pablo Mencia, who was born on December 14, 2006
