    About This Event

    Comedian Marito Lopez, originally from El Salvador and a regular on the New York club circuit, presents Culture Wars as part of the New York Laughs Festival at The Stand NYC. Lopez has performed at the New York Comedy Club and appeared in the series One More Time; he shares the local scene with comics such as Jeff Wright and Veronica Kwiatkowski, and his set draws on that bi-cultural perspective.

    About Culture Wars

    Playing at The Stand NYC, *Culture Wars* is a comedy set shaped by New York’s daily arguments over identity, class, and belonging. Featured performer Marito Lopez, born in El Salvador and now based in the city, draws on immigrant experience and the small frictions of life here, with the timing of a working club comic who’s logged real hours at New York Comedy Club. No NYC premiere history has been announced. The sharpest moments come when the material treats “culture war” as a lived negotiation, not a slogan.
