  NBC News calls him "America's Prince of Pride". He's been seen on THE GRAHAM NORTON EFFECT on Comedy Central and PBS's IN THE LIFE and has toured North America with his highly acclaimed one-man shows. As a singer, Genre Magazine calls him "the most exciting Latin pop artist ever to emerge onto the music scene". He has performed in seven languages and in 33 countries to date and his hypnotic music can be heard on the Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning police drama THE SHIELD on FX. The New York Times raved that his infectious comedy was "hilarious" and The Advocate calls him "exquisite." 
   
  Jade Esteban Estrada plays seven characters in the family dramedy "Tortilla Heaven" written by Celeste Angela Estrada. "Tortilla Heaven" is a solo play performed by Comedy Central star Jade Esteban Estrada. Tortilla Heaven is a comedic yet very real story of first, second, and third generation Mexicans trying to relate to one another. First generations living a humble life and making home feel more like home, second generations abandoning their roots in order to assimilate to the big city life, and the third generations trying to understand it all without knowing the language of his people. When generations finally meet, speaking the same language seems to be the easy part of a difficult journey of understanding why your family is so different.
