Julio Torres falls into the latter category.The quirky, handsome queer comic immigrated to the US from El Salvador as a child.
As an adult, he studied literary studies at the prestigious New School in New York City with his eyes set on one career: comedy.
His prize didn’t elude him for long; he landed a spot in the writer’s room for Saturday Night Live in 2016, a job which earned him four Emmy nominations.
He landed his own comedy special in 2019 titled My Favorite Shapes, in which he showed off his peculiar brand of abstract comedy.
