The Frisco Kid
Up-and-comer’s set to rattle the comic Richter scale
West Coast Comedy 101: To springboard into acting, you strike out for LA. To perform standup for – gasp! – standup’s sake, you slug it out in the wilds of the San Francisco club scene. Al Madrigal falls into the latter category, having honed his deceptively baby-faced delivery and effortlessly fluid commentary in the Bay Area. He’s since relocated and made the network rounds. Comedy Central, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Kimmel Live, the award for Best Stand-Up Comedian at 2004’s Aspen Comedy Festival? All worthy cred-builders. Starring in this fall’s Project Gary alongside Jay Mohr? An opportunity to up his public profile big-time.
