Jesús Sepúlveda, one of the fastest rising young Latino stand-up comedians in Los Angeles, is gearing up for the premiere of his new stand up special on Entre Nos with Mr. Tough Life.

In this special, recorded at Chelsea Music Hall, Sepúlveda shares how — thanks to his own experiences with a tough father and even tougher therapist — he was able to understand why Latinos love parties and distrust therapy.
