Jose Velasquez

Straight outta El Salvador by way of LA, Jose “Hoozay” Velasquez is lighting up the comedy scene with his razor-sharp wit, magnetic charm, and unapologetically Salvadoran swagger. Whether he’s cracking up crowds coast to coast or going viral with his hilarious takes on culture and identity, Hoozay brings the laughs—with a side of pupusas.

You’ve probably seen him blow up on TikTok, rock the stage on his sold-out Comedy, Pupusas, and Beer tour, or dropping gems in his critically acclaimed one-hour special The Salvadoran on Prime Video and Apple TV. Hoozay isn’t just a comedian—he’s a cultural ambassador repping his roots and turning everyday Salvadoran life into laugh-out-loud gold.

He’s been in the game for over 17 years, starting out in his mom’s backyard and now headlining international festivals like El Salvador’s Festival de Comedia. Whether he’s joking about immigrant parents, growing up bicultural, or just trying to adult in this wild world, Hoozay delivers with heart, heat, and hella humor.
