Will Bill Santiago ever learn to dance salsa “on two”? Will tango take over his life? Will he be arrested on domestic violence charges for engaging in the “quebradita”? Will he ever become an intermediate -- at anything? Will he ever learn to communicate his intention? Will he ever learn “Cuban motion”? Will he get his dance fix tonight?

BIO
"Life is too short to be monolingual" - Bill Santiago

Bill Santiago is the first born of at least four children. He became a standup after narrowly escaping a career in journalism, facing the fact that as a comedian he was funny, but as a reporter he was a joke. It’s been said he was born to Puerto Rican immigrants, which is technically untrue, as Puerto Ricans are US citizens. Although, he’s got an uncle who was once deported to the Bronx. While connecting solidly with his Latino fans, Santiago is just as popular for his straight ahead mainstream material, reminiscent of George Carlin, and showcasing Santiago's journalistic roots, obsessions with language, and keen insights on everything from Cats to Religion to Facebook.
