here is a famous Buddhist proverb which states "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. That is the Mantra of comedian Isaac Martinez (known by his stage name, Flaco, which is slang for Skinny in Spanish). Born with Marfan Syndrome, Flaco knew from an early age that pain was an unavoidable facet of life, but that never stopped him from having a pretentious bio opening. He wholeheartedly embraced who he was and the cards he was dealt into his hilarious, unique and deeply personal stand-up routine. Flaco began his love for performing as an actor in college where he was awarded the actor of the year award, which was a proud yet humbling moment, "because I had to build my own award in shop class." And now he has a quickly growing reputation as one of the strongest up and coming comedians. Pretty soon, you will see his face everywhere (well… everywhere except the Food Network).
