Newspaper headlines and prime-time TV interviews lauded Enrique Peña Nieto after he won Mexico’s 2012 presidential election. Time Magazine front covered him as “The Savior of Mexico.” By the second year of his administration it had become obvious that the savior was a failure.

Peña Nieto’s wobbly status became even more fragile when he encountered US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Over the course of his 2011 record Touché, the audience learns a few of the comedians rules for a set: don’t get ahead of the joke, don’t expect any spoon-feeding (though you’ll get a couple of tries on a phonics joke), and learning to love hip-hop, rock and roll, and pornography will help you enjoy the show.
