Originally from California, Raymond Padilla is a New York based comedian. Before becoming a Pillar of the Empire State community in 2021, he was fighting for his pre-diabetic homosexual life in Los Angeles. After completing his college education at Loyola Marymount University he decided to step into his truth as both a performer and a proud Gay man. A mere decade later, he is cruising the mean streets and bridges of New York on a Citi-Bike to tune of the Wicked Witch of the East’s cyclone soundtrack. He is currently physically and spiritually recovering from opening for Heather McMahan on the internationally renowned Comeback Tour. You can see him performing and riding his bicycle throughout Manhattan, mostly to and from Gay Pride parties he won’t remember. Hosanna in the Highest.
