Mencia is back and at the top of his game.  As outspoken as ever, he brings fans into bold new comedic territory, using personal stories and an uncompromising world view to connect with his universal and diverse fan base.  Filmed at the Pechanga Casino in Temecula, CA, Mencia's latest hour special puts him in a new light while still showcasing the trademark "keep it real" attitude his fans have always loved.
