Rex Lasat Navarrete (born 1969 in Manila, Philippines) is a Filipino-American comedian whose material is geared toward Filipino audiences.
Sometime after his birth in 1969, his parents left the Philippines and immigrated to the United States, settling in Chicago. Navarrete, on the other hand, was raised by his grandparents in the provinces of Cavite and Batangas. He later reunited with his parents and his baby sister at the age of three. Eventually, the Navarrete family moved to South San Francisco, California where he spent the rest of his childhood.
He started his career in 1989 with a performance at University of California Santa Cruz. He has since performed in over two dozen colleges and universities as well as various comedy clubs and festivals, including headlining a sold-out performance at The Warfield in San Francisco as well as the Wiltern LG in Los Angeles.
As of December 2006, he has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. These include performances in San Francisco, New York, Montreal, Manila, Geneva, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Sydney.
In 2007, an animated series featuring Filipino-American characters will be released. Navarrete will be voicing many of the characters. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
