ABOUT EUGENE TORRES

Nationally touring comedian Eugene Torres was born in Gainesville, FL, but he didn’t stick around there long. A couple months prior to his birth, the police arrested Danny Rolling (a.k.a. The Gainesville Ripper) walking distance from the Torres household. As soon as Eugene took his first breath, his family decided to escape the craziness, and they moved to a small town in the Midwest. He’s essentially a serial killer refugee.

The new town had a population of 200 people. Out of that, Eugene’s family were the only Latinos. With that being said, every year Eugene would visit his grandparents in New York. It was like going to a Puerto Rican bootcamp. He watched television in Spanish, ate rice and beans all day, and ran around with Abuelo’s roosters.

Eugene has been on stage since he was able to walk due to his mother putting him in pageants as a child. Although it’s a bit embarrassing now, that’s where his passion for performing originated. He has always craved excitement. Eugene has done everything from being an MMA fighter to wrestling alligators to rapping, and he brings those stories plus other crazy experiences to the stage every show.

Eugene Torres is well known for co-creating and starring in the viral video series “Puerto Rican Bootcamp,” the premise of which was based on his life. He appeared on FOX’s hit show “The Floor” with Rob Lowe. In addition, Eugene has freestyle rapped on numerous radio stations across the country, acted in a Super Bowl commercial, and worked with some of the biggest names in comedy such as Russell Peters, Chad Daniels, Luis J. Gomez, and a lot more.

Eugene Torres regularly tours clubs, theaters, and military bases all over the country.
