Mau Nieto Viviendo Sobrio Desde El Bar Very Funny

Netflix has started adding Mexican comedians to its lineup. Watching stand-up comedy is a great way to learn Mexican Spanish. It's full of colloquial expressions and pop culture references.

If you are an intermediate or advanced learner, try watching these Mexican stand-up comedians with Spanish subtitles as studies have shown it enhances language learning.

Warning: Mexican humor traditionally relies on ethnic and homophobic stereotypes and can be extremely politically incorrect to North American and European ears. I have omitted the worst offenders from this list, but still be prepared for some cringeworthy moments.

However, if you can get past the occasional tasteless joke, you'll be rewarded with cultural insights as well as cool slang to impress your Mexican friends.

All these Mexican stand-up comedy specials are Netflix originals and available in the US as well as most — but unfortunately not all — other countries. To check if a show is available where you are, just click the title.

1. Sofía Niño de Rivera: Expuesta (2016)

If you watch one Mexican comedy special on Netflix, make it this one. A pioneer of Mexico's stand-up scene, Sofía Niño de Rivera's brand of self-deprecating humor is darklyhilarious.

A good opportunity to pick up commongroserías and gain insights about Mexican culture like the mutual disdain between chilangos (Mexico City residents) and the rest of the country.

2. Sofía Niño de Rivera: Selección Natural (2018)

In this highly entertaining follow-up to her 2016 hit, Niño de Rivera brings her trademark black humor to the stage of Mexico City's iconic Auditorio Nacional.

Her snarky wit will make you laugh out loud, and you'll score many colorful new expressions to liven up your vocabulary lists.

Note: Watch the specials in order as many jokes in this one reference her first show.

3. Daniel Sosa: Maleducado (2019)

Daniel Sosa hits his comedic stride in his irreverent second stand-up special, in which he reminisces about his childhood and ponders Mexican traditions. Lots of slang and references to contemporary Mexican culture.

4. Carlos Ballarta: Furia Ñera (2018)

I found popular standupero Carlos Ballarta's second show much funnier than his first (listed below). In this special, the chilango comic mocks himself, pointing out the absurdities of parenthood and how he uses his wife's pregnancies to avoid commitments.

Language note: ñero, originally derived from the word compañero, is Mexico City slang for an uneducated urban youngster. So Furia Ñera translates as something like working-class or barrio rage.

6. Daniel Sosa: Sosafado (2017)

Young Mexican comedian Daniel Sosa recounts anecdotes of daily life and interprets various characters including a Tupperware dealer, a thirsty priest, and a soldier inside a Trojan horse. His jokes require a good grasp of Mexican culture and slang, so his act offers many learning opportunities.

An added bonus is the spectacular backdrop provided by Mexico City's Polyforum Siqueiros, featuring the world's largest mural by famed painter David Alfaro Siqueiros.

8. Simplemente Manu NNa (2017)

Diva of Mexican stand-up Manu NNa riffs on the struggles of being gay in a machista society and shares his affinity for telenovelas and marijuana.

Lots of colorful slang and pop culture references. Funny, brash, and sexy, with a few cringe-inducing moments of crass stereotypes (see warning above on Mexican humor).

9. El Especial de Alex Fernández, el Especial (2017)

In this high-energy performance, Alex Fernández riffs on reggaetón lyrics, the show Sabadazo, and the origin of suppositories. Lots of funny musical impressions. Clean material refreshingly free of racist stereotypes.
