ABOUT THE SHOW:
Written & Performed by: Andres “Chulisi” Rodriguez
Artist, Actor, Author, Poet, Writer, Producer, Director, Performance Coach, “Chulisi” brings his one-man monologue show — full of characters, spoken word and a lot of laughs.
In a brand new one-man show, Chulisi brings through comedy and spoken word, humor in this thing called life. A reminder that there is always funny through tragedy and hardships in people and life.
This will be the first time Chulisi will debut his special art pieces. Inspired and invigorated by a renewed sense of continuity, and awed by the mystery of how creation occurs; none of it was intentional – it all developed and evolved over time. “People always ask for an artist’s statement to explain a certain piece of work. If you’ve made a picture and that’s how you wanted it to be, hopefully it can speak for itself. And whatever it says to the viewer, it’s the right message because there isn’t a wrong or a right message. Each person takes something a little different from the same picture and I’m happy with that.”

ANDRES “CHULISI” RODRIGUEZ is a native New Yorker. He was born and raised in Brooklyn. In his teens he joined local talent contests where he sang and danced. He choreographed for a few freestyle singers and went on to record his own dance music single on “Strictly Rhythm.” He attended Julia Richman High School, and enrolled in the Talented Unlimited program taking musical theater. It was there he learned about voice and acting. During his high school years he danced backup for many freestyle singers of the time. It wasn’t long after that, that he took to the stage. He has done “Off To See The Mayor,” “Life As A Drag,” and “Bangee,” just to name a few of the many shows he has performed in. The roles he played were various characters from a drag queen to a comic.
“Chulisi” toured his critically acclaimed one-man show called “Making Of A Wo-man.” He took a break for a year and started writing poetry. He decided to put his writing to the test by creating, producing and directing a group of actors. That is how the Lose Control comedy troupe was created. (All videos can be seen on YouTube under “losecontroltv”) They had a 5-year contract at the Broadway Comedy Club. In-between all of what he works on for himself, he also works with many actors on technique, improvisation-work and character-development.
Andres “Chulisi” Rodriguez’s poetry can be found in “Mariposas – A Collection of Latino Poets” by Floricanto Press. In 2012 he received an HOLA award for Best Male Solo Performance and nominated for an Audelco award for playing the role of two brothers in “Growing Up Gonzalez.” And since the start of Cycle 3, he has been a member of The Full Circle Ensemble and theatrical-director of all of The Full Circle Ensemble’s productions, “From The Page To The Stage,” “Misconceptions” and “Misconceptions, Too.” All of which were performed at the legendary National Black Theatre. And he also, recently directed the highly acclaimed, HOLA Award nominee play, In Defense of Glitter and Rainbows — the first in May of 2015 and the second this past June 2016. He will be directing In Defense of Glitter and Rainbows for its third return this October 2016 at The Royal Family Productions Theatre.
He is a self-published author of “Slips, Trips and Falls” – A Collection of Personal Essay and Poetry. He is in the works of a web series he wrote called Girl Talk.
MESSAGE FROM CHULISI:
My one-man show is truth displayed on stage…even when funny doesn’t take away the sting. It’s a process to give you guys all I am and have. Life in monologues, spoken word and lots of laughs. “Laughter will heal ya!”
