Frankie Quiñones on Beating Addiction, Making It to Hulu, and Representing La Raza
Description
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, we go deep with comedian Frankie Quiñones (aka Creeper from CholoFit) on the grind it took to get from open mics and sleeping on couches to a Hulu one-hour special directed by Ali Wong. Frankie breaks down the reality behind “overnight success,” how addiction nearly took him out during the pandemic, and why family, faith, and culture kept him in the fight.From getting the call to perform in character at the Emmys, to seeing his Times Square and LAX billboards go up, to collaborating with Felipe Esparza and Fluffy, this is a masterclass in resilience, representation, and doing the work when nobody’s watching. We also talk sobriety, CholoFit, Creeper vs. Frankie on stage, and what it really takes to build a career without selling your soul.
