Third Man in the Ring
Comedy, Culture & Survival | George P. Perez
In this episode of Third Man in the Ring, referee Popeye Ray sits down with stand-up comedian George P. Perez, a one-of-a-kind voice in comedy.
George opens up about his upbringing, the struggles that shaped him, and how he went from the streets to performing on Netflix, HBO, Showtime, and MTV. With sharp humor and honest reflections, George shows how comedy became not just a career, but a way to transform his life.
This conversation is about more than just laughs, it’s about resilience, culture, and finding your lane when the odds are against you.
