THAI RIVERA will make you uncomfortable in the best way possible. His politically incorrect style of humor has taken the comedy world by storm. Having moved from Arizona to LA Thai quickly became a fixture and force on the comedy scene.

He has performed with some of the biggest name's in the world of stand up, he has also been featured on Comedy Central's "Live At Gotham" and One Night Stand Up (LOGO). While Thai is very proud of who and what he is his disarming style and easy going delivery will put you at ease and there is no doubt that by the end of his set you will understand that Thai is comic who happens to be gay and not a gay comic, or as he would put it, "A comic who happens to be a fag and not a fag comic." Thai's comedy has taken him across this country and featuring for Jo Koy's "Don't Make Him Angry Tour" and also far away as Australia and Thule Greenland, where he performed for our troops.
