Rex Navarrete

In late 2005, the release of his sophomore DVD entitled, "Badass Madapaka!", showcased Rex Navarrete on his Pacific region tour of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Honolulu and Manila. This was the first international tour DVD by any Filipino-American artist. The San Francisco show was taped in front of a sold-out house at the historic Warfield Theater in downtown. The Los Angeles taping filled up the also historic Wiltern LG Theater. One can truly experience Rex's fan-base from all angles.
His other projects include his own television series, "Rex In The City", for MTV Philippines, which shared his stand-up talents to a younger, hipper TV viewing audience throughout the Philippines. For the animated series "The Nutshack", Navarrete voiced many of the series' key characters in this groundbreaking Filipino-American animated production.
Navarrete remains to be a one of the hardest working, relatively unknown American comedians today though he's performed alongside notable national headliners as George Lopez, DL Hughley, Paul Mooney, among others. He does plan to release a number of other comedy albums on CD and DVD's under his label for fans to enjoy in the future.
Presently, he lives on the island of Oahu in Hawaii where he just loves to relax quietly, swim and fish when he can. The future seems to only give him the chance to connect with a larger audience that is now finally getting the opportunity to witness the changing face of American stand-up comedy.
