Chris Estrada is a stand-up comedian and co-creator of the TV comedy, This Fool. Estrada also stars as the show’s main character: Julio. Julio lives in South Central Los Angeles, where Chris grew up, but the show isn’t autobiographical. Julio works at a local nonprofit that helps former gang members adjust to life on the outside. The show follows the misadventures of Julio and his cousin Luis who has finished up a lengthy prison sentence. The show is funny, human, unexpected and at times, surprisingly sweet. We talk with Chris about co-creating This Fool, his love of hardcore punk music and his late start as a stand-up comedian. The latest season of This Fool comes out July 26th on Hulu. A version of this interview originally aired in September of 2022.
