Aldo has survived and lived to tell it all... You've seen him on Telemundo Commercials Rocking Scrubs... He has been seen performing his antics at Comedy Clubs around the Melting Pot of New York City and has appeared in spots all over the East Coast... Aldo brings you his playful banter, and just when you think you are safe he whips it to ya and leaves you in stitches.
