Cris Sosa’s Stand-Up Packs a PUNCH! | Quarterfinals | AGT 2026

AGT, what's up? Yo, my parents are here. My mom is over here, and my dad is over here. Yeah, they're divorced. It's safer that way. Nah, man, because my parents argued all the time when we were kids, man. Oh my gosh, and they're Spanish. They argued in Spanish so that we couldn't understand them, and their Spanish was so back and forth. They were so on beat. They were like making music. They were like... And we're just in the room like, oh, they at it again. Nah, my parents on the verge of divorce, and we're like... My dad's just overly confident, the most confident man that I know. He has these morning mantras that he lives by. Every day, he's like, Papi, if I wasn't me, I would love to be me. How does he do that? I wish I had morning mantras. You know what I'm doing every morning? Doom scrolling, TikTok, watching somebody else's mantra. I will no longer force what doesn't fit for me. What's meant for me will meet me right where I am. I just want to be like my dad. My dad, he was a professional boxer, amazing fighter. Now he works at FedEx to continue his boxing career. Follow me. You follow me, Simon? You follow me? Thank you. My dad actually taught me. He taught me how to box at a young age. I ain't gonna lie to y'all, man. I don't mean to toot my own horn or nothing like that, but eight years old, I was delivering unlimited, Tomas, until I met my arch nemesis, Miguel Flores, Mexican, solid. They called him the shark because he goes for the gills. We're eight years old. I didn't know they were giving out nicknames yet, but my dad, confident, he didn't miss a beat. Oh, they call him the shark? That's cute because I got a killer dolphin right here. Show them the killer dolphin, Papi. Show them the killer dolphin. Now I'm trying to taunt him. What's up? The bell rung. Listen, I appreciate that. The bell rung. Miguel starts charging towards me. I started swimming towards him. He hits me with that Mexican body shot. Boom, gills. The ref starts counting. One, two, get up, Papi. Three, four, you're the killer dolphin, Papi. Five, can you continue? So I start at FedEx next week. Y'all, thank y'all so much, man. My name is Chris Sosa. Mahalo to y'all. Chris, you're great. You check a lot of boxes. You got the physicality. You got the sound effects. You got the likability. You're memorable. I hope. I want to see comedy. I want to see you go much farther than this. America, vote. On the stage because you have this personality that is fascinating and it's fun and you're a showman completely. I love the material tonight. I really had a good, like, good laughs tonight. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I was laughing. Now, I just wish you had more time because I think you get funnier as time goes on. I didn't barely laugh like I did last time, but I want you to do well. So I hope America does vote for you. I really do. Thank you. Thank you. Simon. You have naturally got it. Simple as that. The room loved you. I enjoyed watching your mom and dad watch you as much as I loved watching the act. They were so into it. You have a fantastic relationship with your parents. You can see that. I think America's going to really like you. You know that? I do. I got a feeling. And it was better than your first audition. Chris, what did what advice did your dad give you tonight before you hit the stage? Man, every time I go into the ring or even a big stage like this, he always tells me, put your hands up, chin down, bend your knees. And tonight I did that. Tonight was fight night. And I also want to say something, man. I want to dedicate this to my grandfather, my dad's father, my abuelo. He's Dominican. He passed away a couple of days before my audition aired. I know he's with me tonight. Abuelo, hey, you. Go, go, go.
