Marcello Hernandez
In the generally unfunny and tedious Saturday Night Live cast of recent seasons, newcomer Marcello Hernandez shows promise of having an actual sense of humor. He’s good-natured and exuberant and a natural at stand-up. The child of a Cuban mom and a Dominican dad, he delights at poking fun at both immigrants and the U.S. as an outsider and an insider. With Greg Kennedy, Deanna Ortiz. Shows at 7:30 and 10 p.m. on April 18-19, 5, 7:30 and 10 p.m. on April 20, and (just added due to high demand) 6:30 and 8:45 p.m. on April 21 at madisoncomedy.com.
