A post shared by FAUSTO MATA ??? (@faustomata5) on


Known for being considered “ugly” and unattractive, Dominican comedian Fausto Mata embraces these characteristics as he entertains crowds with such remarks about himself. He is most known for his famous Dominican movie, “Sanky Panky”. The movie is about a poor man (Genaro) who starts working at a tourist hotel. The point is he has hopes of finding and then marrying a white woman with money who will take him back to the United States for a better life. Aside from this movie, Mata also has his own TV show, on Telemicro, known as “Boca de Piano es un Show” meaning “Piano Mouth is a Show”. He carries the name Boca de Piano as a stage name to reference his unique teeth that his fans love.  Who wouldn’t love someone who turns his or her flaws into jokes, though?

He proves it in all of his performances, on stage, in movies or on TV; it is hard to miss Iglesias’s appearances.  Mainly known for his Hawaiian shirts and for his jokes about his weight, he proves to be comfortable showing his audience who he is. His impressive 118-pound weight loss had nothing to do with the way he looks, he said, but with being healthy because his life may have been in danger.
