Nery Alexander Saenz(born September 3, 1981, Leon, Nicaragua) is an Hispanic-American comedian.
Saenz was born in Leon, Nicaragua. He arrived to the United States at the age of three in 1984. He is the youngest of four children to Norma and Pedro Saenz. His mother was a homemaker and father a worker.
The youngest of four siblings in a Nicaraguan-American family, Saenz grew up watching his idols - Eddie Murphy and George Carlin - performing on stage, and that spurred his desire to pursue a career in comedy. As a child his imagination ran wild. He was always the class clown, imitating movie characters and staging his own "Blood Sport" tournaments in his bed room.
Saenz got his start in comedy when he entered a local Open Mic contest in his hometown, Miami, Florida, and made it all the way to the finals. His love of comedy and desire to make people laugh were cemented and he worked tirelessly to pursue his dream.
His hard work and dedication have made him a favorite at colleges and comedy clubs across the country. He was a finalist at the "NBC Stand Up for Diversity" showcase in 2005 & again in 2007, and has worked with many of the top comedians in the industry.
Saenz prides himself for his style of comedy. It is unique in that, although he comes from an Hispanic background, he doesn't focus on that. His topics are relatable to anyone whether he's poking fun at relationships, shopping for school supplies.
