Walter Reyes is a comedian whose journey from Southeast L.A.’s gritty yet vibrant streets to headlining major stages has made him a standout voice in the comedy world. Born and raised in Cudahy, a small yet mighty city in Los Angeles County, Walter found his comedic inspiration early—his first successful joke was at age five, directed at his toughest critic and biggest cheerleader: his mom. Her laughter ignited a lifelong passion for bringing joy to others, shaping Walter into the performer he is today.

Walter’s humor is rooted in his bicultural upbringing and the colorful contrasts of living half his life in Los Angeles County and the other half in Orange County. These experiences offer a unique lens through which he explores family, identity, and everyday absurdities. His comedic path officially began in 2008, during an impromptu open mic fueled by a friend’s dare—and maybe a drink or two. That night set the stage for a career marked by authenticity and undeniable talent.

Walter has graced national platforms like Univision’s Despierta América, Telemundo’s Despierta San Diego, and MiTu Network. Onstage, he’s opened for icons including George Lopez, Felipe Esparza, and Cristela Alonzo. As a headliner, he’s brought his comedic brilliance to legendary venues like the Hollywood Improv, Ontario Improv, and Irvine Improv.

Walter Reyes isn’t just a comedian; he’s a storyteller who transforms life’s experiences into relatable, laugh-out-loud moments, connecting with audiences of all backgrounds. With his sharp wit, vibrant presence, and unyielding authenticity, Walter Reyes is a comedic force to watch.
