Marito Lopez joins Jimmer Lowe for an Episode of Q’d Up. Marito Lopez, originally from El Salvador, moved to Canada at the tender age of four and has learned to love the English language, White People and snow. He grew up in the mean streets of Calgary, Alberta, and is probably the cutest gangster you’ll ever see on stage. Whether it’s at school, the club, or in the drunk tank, Marito has always wanted to be funniest person in the room. In 2009, Marito pulled a Kanye West, dropped out of college and decided to follow his dream. Kanye West is a millionaire right now and Marito just moved back in with his parents.

In the short time Marito Lopez has been doing comedy, he’s been able to produce multiple successful comedy shows, make it to the finals of the regional Great Canadian Laugh Off, and be featured on Shaw TV for a documentary on comedy in Calgary. One day, people will recognize Marito on the streets. Hopefully as a comedian.
