Brian is so funny, you might not notice he's working clean.

Jose Sarduy

Gathering material from a wealth of life experiences, Jose Sarduy takes audiences on the rollercoaster ride that’s been his life. Born in Cuba and deported because of his father’s political prisoner status, he came to the U.S. at a young age. He made his parents proud when, after high school, he was accepted to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado. He became an officer in the Air Force, is an accomplished aviator, and is a veteran having served in Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. He’s even been shot at in two countries.
He's been seen on CNN, CBS, Fox, and Lifetime's "Coming Home" with his touring group The GIs of Comedy. He was the co-host of NUVO TV's "Stand Up and Deliver" which aired three seasons, appeared on FoxTV's "Laughs" in two seasons as both a performer and host, and was recently featured on NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly." Most nights you can find him on stage somewhere — but one week a month it's all dog tags and volleyball, down in Texas, teaching the next generation of top guns the basics.
