March 20, 2007 - New York, N.Y. - Out Magazine and The Advocate call him "the first gay Latin star." Vicarious Productions is proud to announce the performance of stand-up comedian Jade Esteban Estrada at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, March 24, 2007 at Gotham Comedy Club located at 208 West 23rd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues in Manhattan's Chelsea District in New York, New York. The event is wheelchair accessible. For information and reservations call 212-367-9000. Admission is $10 cover plus two drink minimum. For further information log onto www.getjaded.com.

Tom Sime of the Dallas Morning News calls him "funny and irreverent." Estrada has played Stand Up New York, New York Comedy Club, Three of Cups, Rivercenter Comedy Club and several comedy events across the U.S. including his recent headlining performance for "Seriously Funny 2007" in Omaha, Nebraska.

Formally the choreographer to television personality Charo and a scratch vocalist for the Back Street Boys, Estrada came to international attention when Out Magazine christened him, "the first gay Latin star" in 2000. Estrada released his debut CD "Angel" (Vicarious) in 2001 and in 2002 took part in the "Being Out Rocks" (Centaur) CD compilation in honor of National Coming Out Day for the Human Rights Campaign.

In October 2006, Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher paid tribute to Estrada by commissioning him the title of "Kentucky Colonel," the highest honor awarded by the Commonwealth of Kentucky that acknowledges outstanding ambassadors of goodwill and fellowship around the world. The Texas native joined other honorary colonels which include Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, Bob Hope, Joan Crawford, Johnny Depp, Muhammad Ali and Pope John Paul II.

Estrada's television credits include appearances on the Emmy-nominated "In the Life TV" on PBS, "Friday Night Lights" on NBC and "The Graham Norton Effect" on Comedy Central. His popular Latin dance music can be heard on the Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning police drama, "The Shield" on the FX Network.

"Most performers would be happy to have a fraction of Jade Esteban Estrada's career," states Marty Rosen of the Louisville Courier-Journal. Hector Saldana of the San Antonio Express-News calls him "a show biz messiah." Roy Proctor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch calls him "a master entertainer."

Estrada has toured the U.S. with his seven solo shows which include "It's Too Late...It's Already In Me," "Tortilla Heaven," "Pico de Gallo," "ICONS: The Lesbian and Gay History of the World, Vol. 1-3" and "Gay Christian, Gay Muslim, Gay Jew."

Estrada will speak at the international "Behind the Rainbow" Queer Studies Easter Symposium in Mexico City on April 11, 2007 and will also be the headlining act for the Transgender 2007, the annual conference of the International Foundation for Gender Education in Philadelphia on April 13, 2007.
