Alfred Robles was two months from joining the LAPD when a restraining order rerouted him to comedy. Years of touring with Gabriel Iglesias later, Robles brings his ‘Vatos with Gatos’ Tour to the Houston Improv on Friday, August 21, 2026, at 7:30 PM.
Robles’ comedy thrives on observational humor, honed on Comedy Central’s Stand Up Revolution and HBO’s Entre Nos. His East Los Angeles roots fuel spontaneous interactions and personal anecdotes, making each show unique.
His special, “Vatos with Gatos”, released by 800 Pound Gorilla Media, captures his take on life. Yet, it’s live where Robles shines, navigating the room with sharp wit and genuine curiosity.
This Houston stop is part of a tour that includes The Palazzo Theatre in Las Vegas during Mexican Independence Day Weekend, marking his rise in the comedy circuit.
