Army Entertainment Comedy Tour: Felipe Esparza, Finesse Mitchell, and Seaton Smith

A product of the streets of East Los Angeles, FELIPE ESPARZA is a comedian and actor, best known for his raw, real-life comedy that audiences everywhere can relate to. Felipe won NBC’s Last Comic Standing in 2010, and soon after, starred in and produced his first 1 hour Showtime special “They’re Not Gonna Laugh at You,” (now available on DVD and streaming on Netflix) and is now touring and selling out comedy clubs and theaters across the world. He also launched a popular new podcast in 2014, entitled, “What’s Up Fool?, on the All Things Comedy podcast network. Felipe is a recurring character on NBC’s “Superstore” and has an upcoming one-hour comedy special due to premier on a major cable network in the Fall of 2017.

In addition to winning the top prize on Last Comic Standing, Felipe has appeared on numerous television shows, including “The Eric Andre Show”, “Arsenio Hall”, “The Tonight Show”, “Lopez Tonight”, TruTV’s “World’s Dumbest”, Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend” and “Russell Simmons Presents Stand-Up at the El Rey”, “Comics Unleashed”, Showtime’s “Comics Without Borders”, BET’s “Comic View”, and Galavisión’s “Que Locos” (where he had more appearances than any other comedian). In 2009, he appeared in his first two feature-length films, “The Deported”, with Nick Turturro, Talia Shire, and Paul Rodriguez and “I’m Not Like That No More”, a film based on his stand-up comedy where he stars as Paul Rodriguez’ son.

Finesse Mitchell is a multi-faceted actor, comedian and author. He has recently appeared in “Mad Families” with Charlie Sheen (Crackle TV) and “Media” (TV One) and Showtime’s “Roadies.” Mitchell is currently writing his much anticipated second book on relationships, his first being a well-received look at his take on dating. “Your Girlfriends Only Know So Much: A Brother’s Take on Dating and Mating for Sistas” (2007, Simon Spotlight) is an advice book for women and was born out of his hip, hilarious and widely popular monthly advice column for ESSENCE Magazine. 

Mitchell performs stand-up comedy to sold out shows across the country.  Known for his witty take on timely subjects and relationships between men and women, he appeals to all demographics.  Finesse performed in the 2013 Shaq All-Star Comedy Jam tour and shined as a featured act on the “SHAQ All-Star” one-hour comedy special taped in his hometown of Atlanta which aired on Showtime.

Seaton Smith is one of the most exciting stand ups in New York City. Having honed his material in the comedy clubs and bars of The Big Apple, Seaton got his first big break in 2014, landing the extremely coveted role of ‘Motif’ on FOX’s ‘Mulaney’ alongside John Mulaney, Nasim Pedrad, Elliot Gould, and Martin Short.

 After a season on ‘Mulaney’ Seaton branched out and has appeared on hit shows including Comedy Central’s ‘Inside Amy Schumer,’ HBO’s ‘Girls,’ and Comedy Central’s ‘The Nightly Show.’ Seaton has also performed stand up on NBC’s ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers.’

In September 2015, Seaton released his debut album, Bologna Meat, which Laugh Button called: “…smart, energetic, and refreshingly clever … [Seaton] fiddles with unique views on the world…he continuously brings something new and exciting to stale topics.”

Seaton is a regular headliner at some of the best comedy clubs and comedy festivals across the country.
