Sargento Bring One-Man Comedy Masterpiece to Nacho Daddy
Sargento is funny and doesn’t have to tell jokes to make people laugh. He just has to step into a room or step on a stage; he requires attention like the perfect extrovert he is. In return, you will laugh and be joyous because that’s how Sargento flies through life. He is meticulously coquettish, and his unusual voice cracks like adolescents in rollercoaster English, the cadence up and down.
His first voyage into Mentiras the Musical, which opened in 2009 and is still running in Mexico City, was at Casa Karma last summer. The limited space and the fact that Sargento had to play four different women – color-coding the characters was the first sign of sheer genius. Plans evolved to make the show bigger and more accessible to a larger audience.
Opening Night of The Men-Ti-Ras Experience at Nacho Daddy had a percussionist, pianist, and four mannequins on stage, each wearing a different colored jacket. The story unfolds of how the four women, all deeply involved with the same man (who never appears), are united at his funeral. The lies (mentiras) had grown so burdensome the rogue male character, Emmanuel, fakes his own death and accuses one of the women in a letter left behind of killing him. They ALL had good reason! Convoluted? You betcha. Funny? OMG. For now, Sargento is content performing this remarkable adaptation at Nacho Daddy once a month until May.
