Internationally renowned comedian Jade Esteban Estrada returns to The VORTEX with his biting one-man comedy, Jade in America. As he has toured around the United States, Estrada has assembled humorous insights on life in America–a country transformed by MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and a once-in-a-century pandemic.  Don’t miss this must-see show, four nights only at The VORTEX.

About the Artist: Jade Esteban Estrada was born in San Antonio and graduated from American Musical and Dramatic Academy. He gained international recognition in 1998 when he released his first Latin pop single, "Reggae Twist."  A multi-talented and successful Latin comedian, pop singer, choreographer, actor, political commentator, and human rights activist was christened "the first gay Latin star" by Out Magazine in December 2000. He has performed his original works at The VORTEX including several volumes of ICONS: The Lesbian and Gay History of the World. Estrada has gathered his experiences from his Jade in America Comedy Tour, which began in 2022 to create a show about what it’s like to tour the country as an LGBTQ+ stand-up comedian. ‘Jade in America’ made its world premiere at Big Couch Theatre in New Orleans in June 2024.
