Elizardi Castro
While Elizardi Castro was raised in New York City, he spent each summer in his native Puerto Rico. Castro learned to use comedy to overcome the challenges of living that 'dual life'. He brings his sixth, one-man comedy show to Chicago this fall. THE N- BEAT lets viewers in on the laughs during a reprise of Castro's first hit show, "Made in Puerto Rico" at Joe's on Weed Street in Chicago - where he plays to a sold-out crowd. In addition to his successful comedy career, Castro is a practicing criminal defense attorney and takes time to work with up and coming Latino comedic talent in Chicago.
