Welcome to another ep of the KZ Community Beat, episode 56.. We’re calling it dos gorditos and 1 microphone! This week we met Ruben Ramirez! Ruben can be defined by one word, humility. He has been on the grind on the comedy circuit. From homeless to headliner and never forgetting to reach back and extend the help others! Ruben’s story shows us that when we want a dream, we chase it, we work for it and when you have it, share the wisdom. Ruben will be at the Jukebox Comedy Club Friday and  Saturday!
