Carmen has developed a unique routine based on the construction industry. He is known nationally as the Construction Comic to hundreds of construction related associations and corporations. His clean and humorous angle on this industry has earned him recommendations from the highest sources. He has been asked many times to perform encore performances, often within the same year.

Carmen's construction niche in the comedy business has helped him attain national recognition. From his early days working in the comedy clubs, his construction routine began receiving praise from bookers and producers on a higher level. This led to performances at major trade shows to speaking with celebrities and sports stars such as Fran Tarkenton and Rocky Bleier. He is now a regular cast member on Michael Holigan's "Your New House", which airs daily on the Discovery Channel. (Click Here to watch video)

Dear Carmen:

What a show! Your performance at our Craft Professional of the Year Awards Dinner surpassed all of my expectations.

I mus honestly say that the Board of Directors and I were concerned that a comedian might not be well received by our often reserved membership. To the contrary, you delivered a hilarious show that had our most serious contractors rolling with laughter. Equally important was the family-friendly content that appealed to a very diverse audience.

Without you our dinner would have been nothing out of the ordinary. However, your talent, energy and good humor about the construction industry made our event an extraordinary success.

Please feel free to reproduce and share this letter as my highest recommendation of you and your act. Also know that we hope to have you back again soon.

Best wishes,

Dear Carmen:

On behalf of our members, the staff, and the Board of Directors of the D.C. Metropolitan Subcontractors Association, I want to thank you for entertaining us at our General Membership Meeting this past February 18, 2001.

It was one of our best GMM meetings to date, and all appreciated your very own brand of construction humor! You were the first comic we ever hired—and you can be sure I will recommend you to our fellow chapters.

Carmen, thank you again for an entertaining evening.

Best regards,

 

Nancy A. Eckert
Executive Director
