Rick Pulido with Kul Black

Rick Pulido was born and raised in El Paso Texas by his mother, sister and aunts (Rick never knew his father.) He developed, what he calls a feminine macho attitude. He says that means; "Be aggressive, ruthless and take no prisoners, but dress well doing it." Rick takes that attitude on stage with him every night.

Kul Black, a hilariously funny stand-up-comedian, uses his colorful view of life's relationships to bring forth topics everyone relates to. Growing up as an "Airforce Brat” helped Kul develop his sense of humor and comedic timing. Coupled with his likeable personality, he has established a nationwide following.
