Bio
Joey Medina is the star of the Morning Invasion on Latino Radio 96.3.  Last year he starred in Latin Palooza – A hilarious DVD which Medina hosted and produced.  Latin Palooza brings to the stage four of the hottest stand-up comedians in America -- Willie Barcena, Darren Carter, Alex Reymundo and Mike Robles. Latin Palooza is distributed by Image Entertainment.
 
Medina also starred in the Paramount picture “The Original Latin Kings of Comedy” with Cheech Marin, Paul Rodriguez, George Lopez and Alex Reymundo. He also co-stars with movie star, Danny Trejo and B Real from the rap group, Cypress Hill.  His first screenplay, “El Matador” in which he made his directorial debut, swept the 8th Annual East Los Angeles Chicano Film Festival in 2002 by winning Best Film, Best Director and Best Acting awards.  The film is currently available on video and DVD through Maverick Entertainment.
 
Medina wrote, produced and hosted Si TV’s first scripted television show, “Circumsized Cinema,” Executive produced by award-winning film producer, Moctesuma Esparza (“Selena”). The show re-edited campy Mexican movies into 30-minute “mini-movies” with totally new, scripted English audio tracks for a hilarious and utterly original half-hour television show.  In addition, Medina is also recognized as one of the hosts and producers of “Loco Comedy Jam,” a stand-up comedy show featuring some of the best Latino comedians in the country on Mun2 Television.
 
Medina is a veteran of 20 television shows, including A&E’s “Evening at the Improv” and “The Roseanne Show.” He won the “Master’s Video, Comedian of the Year Award” and he is also rated one of the top ten Latin comedians in the country and the funniest Puerto Rican in America by www.LatinoComedy.com.
 
A Puerto Rican who was born and raised in The Bronx, Medina spent most of his teen years perfecting his boxing skills that would one day earn him a shot at the world title.  He went on to spend his early adult years as a police officer before becoming a heavy-hitter in the comedy arena.  Medina has headlined almost every major club in the country and has also toured Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, Egypt, Israel, and was proud to perform for the US Armed Forces in Iraq.  He was hand picked by fellow comedian Paul Rodriguez to join his very successful national comedy tour.  In the year 2000 alone, he performed to nearly 100,000 laughing fans. Latin Style Magazine says “Joey is one of the few comedians that can bridge together urban with mainstream comedy to make his style a hit throughout the country.
