Changing the face of American stand-up comedy, Rex is one of the hardest working comedians today. A household name in Filipino American homes. Rex’s routines have evolved through the use of non-fictional and fictional characters, many of whom are struggling underdogs. His portrayals included his Uncle Boy and Maritess the domestic worker, each giving him the voice to air his humorous thoughts on issues and touch on many funny things that people from all ethnicities can relate to.
Navarrete gathers all of his material from what he calls “real Rex moments,” reality and shared life experiences. “I think everything has humor; you will always find humor. I don’t always make stuff up. Even though most of my material is geared for a Filipino audience, if you’re smart enough you’ll understand the universality of it. Look at the comedy traditions of Jewish and African American comics, which are now the mainstream through Seinfeld, Bruce, Allen, Rock, Pryor and Murphy. Our struggles become our comedy.
He travels throughout America and the world, performing his unique brand of comedy and has performed alongside national headliners such as George Lopez, DL Hughley and Paul Mooney.
