Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Comedic Host

Victor Hugo is a stand-up comedian bringing an international flavor to the Texas comedy scene. Born in Guatemala, raised in Boston, and now based in DFW, Victor adds a fresh, global lens to everyday absurdities. Always the goofball in the group, his knack for perfectly timed, wildly inappropriate comments dates back to eighth grade, when a police officer giving a D.A.R.E. presentation stopped the session, pulled Victor aside for cracking up the auditorium, and told him “One more oral joke and you’re out of here.” (Spoiler: he didn’t stop.)a newer face on the scene, Victor Hugo is a Dallas Comedy Club graduate who attacks comedy with focused dedication, performing regularly across North Texas and sharpening his voice as one of the region’s rising comics. Victor proves it’s never too late—or too wrong—to chase the laugh.

Willie J

Willie J

Director | Comedic Host

Willie J is proof that you don’t need to see the crowd to kill the crowd.
Legally blind with a vision for comedy, Willie J turns his life’s curveballs into punchlines that hit. Born with Retinitis Pigmentosa, he brings a brutally honest, no-pity, no-filter style that keeps audiences laughing and questioning their own excuses. He’s not here for your pity—he’s here for your laughs, and maybe to bump into a few of your tables while he’s at it. Willie J is a host and a storyteller. Whether he’s running the mic, running his mouth, or running into walls, he’s always running something!
He’s not just a comedian—he’s a walking reminder that comedy, like life, is all about perspective. And his? It’s dark…. But the punchlines are fire.

Catch Willie J at all the Unmuted Entertainment venues. Maybe tap on his shoulder and let him know you’re there though!

Jake Roper

Jake Roper

Comedic Host

Jake Roper was born in Phoenix, Arizona, but his comedy has wandered across the country — from Southern California to Boston to DFW — much like he does when he loses track of what city he’s in during a bit.

Jake’s been doing stand-up for just under two years, but he’s been obsessed with comedy his whole life. Ever since he was a kid, funny was his way in — the way he made friends, broke the ice, and got through awkward moments without crying (until later). So getting on stage? It just made sense.

He’s performed at iconic venues like The Ice House in Pasadena (twice — he’ll remind you), The Amazing Comedy Theater in Huntington Beach, and Off Cabot in Salem, Massachusetts. His style leans dark, personal, and brutally self-deprecating — because if he can’t laugh at his life, what’s the point?

Now in the DFW comedy scene, Jake is continuing to grow, connect, and share the kind of humor that got him through life in the first place

Roland Rios

Roland Rios

Comedic Host

Roland Rios, better known on stage as Gee Fauker, is a dynamic force in the DFW comedy scene. A proud Texican with roots as real as his punchlines, Roland got his start at the legendary Arlington Improv and quickly leveled up—from spectator to hosting and co-hosting some of the hottest open mics in North Texas.

He’s shared stages with heavy hitters like John Henton (Living Single), Pablo Francisco, Scruncho, Chingo Bling, John Stringer, and America’s Got Talent star Preacher Lawson. With a style that blends razor-sharp observational humor, punchy storytelling, and the raw energy of his upbringing, Gee Fauker commands every crowd he steps in front of.

Authentic, charismatic, and unapologetically hilarious—Roland Rios isn’t just telling jokes. He’s leaving a mark

Christopher Lee

Christopher Lee

Comedic Host

Christopher Lee hit the comedy scene in February 2023—mostly because he missed the stage… and partly because his wife was tired of him roasting their kids for free.

Starting out at the legendary Arlington Improv, Chris has since opened and hosted for heavy hitters like Flo Hernandez, Mikey Mic Mike, and Chris Hopkins. He’s taken his sharp wit on the road with shows in Florida, Austin, Houston, and Wichita Falls, and even featured for The Banditos (don’t ask).

Creator of the hit competition “So You Think You’re Funny,” He’s gone toe-to-toe in multiple roast battles and managed to cross paths with comedy icons like Josh Wolf, Jacob, Ralph Barbosa, and Heather Shaw.

Style? Original. Voice? Unfiltered. Family? Four too many kids and one very patient wife.
