Pinoy Comedian, Rex Navarrete ????

As a Brit I really do not have an awareness of many other comedians outside the UK with the exception of the def jam comics, who I only know of because of their appearances in many high profile movies. Besides we English find it very difficult to laugh at much humour that is not British.
However as I was busy trying to find music, traditional and modern, from the Philippines, so I could burn a couple of discs for the wife, I stumbled across this Pinoy comic, who is really funny. I had never heard of this guy before, and I was under the impression that Philippine Comedians were not a saleable commodity outside of the Philippines. Navarrete is definately the exception to the rule, not only is he extremely funny but as a Catholic Filpino he is not afraid to have a poke at whatever comes his way. Since I stumbled upon this guy I have done a little research into him and it seems that he has a very large following especially with the Pinoys of the United States and others too. He appears to have cornered a niche in the entertainment business and called it his own. His American-Filipino style of humour sends me into chortling fits of laughter as you can recognize exactly who he is taking a swipe at. Even the wife thinks he is funny, and thats a first I really did think that she was a little short on the humour front.
