Behind-the-scenes antics run amok on a late-night sketch comedy variety show produced by an edgy, Latino, puppet parrot: the mustachioed Señor Loro, along with his ragtag posse of immigrant misfits. Loro's paranoia and his snarky troupe's growing insecurities create mayhem as they all brazenly bungle their way towards a lucrative TV deal! ... Based on the characters of the YouTube webisode series: LosTiteresTV. https://linktr.ee/senorlocoshow

STAGE: 1997 New York Outer Critic's Circle Award for Outstanding Solo Performance for "Men on the Verge of a His-Panic Breakdown", Off-Broadway; Winner of Best Play in a Smaller Theatre at 1995 Los Angeles Ovation Awards.

After winning the 1997 New York Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Solo Performance for a play he performed entitled "Men on the Verge of a His-Panic Breakdown, Felix Pire, under fellowship in 1998-99 at The Mark Taper Forum, wrote "The Origins of Happiness in Latin", a solo play which won the California Community Foundation’s Brody Grant in 2000 and the Arizona Theatre Company’s 2001 National Latino Playwriting Award. It was produced to critical acclaim by ATC and Off-Broadway at Urban Stages in 2003, with Felix performing.

He was a top 20 Finalist in the 2013 National Hispanic Media Coalition’s Television Writers Program.

Felix learned to write funny lines off the cuff when he trained at the Jim Henson Company for three years in television puppetry and 'Groundlings' style improv comedy during rehearsals for their adult themed, improvised stage show, "Puppet Up!"... He was hired by the Henson company to write and perform an original puppet character built by Henson in a pitch for Spanish ESPN, as Felix is a bilingual Cuban-American who grew up in Miami.

Felix penned his the award winning screenplay, "Hurricane Nena" at Josefina Lopez's (writer, "Real Women Have Curves") 2002 HBO Latino Screenwriting Project. It went on to win the 2003 ABC Entertainment Television Development Group’s “Certificate in Recognition of Creative Excellence”.

Also a finalist for the 1999 Sundance Feature Film Program, and semi-finalist in the 2000 New York Latino International Film Festival Screenplay Contest for his screen adaptation of the O. Henry short story, "Transients in Arcadia".

“The Señor Loro Show” was first developed as a sketch variety show/sitcom in an earlier incarnation called “LosTiteres.TV” at the 2008 Producer’s Guild of America Diversity Program, but since it’s been renamed to make it more accessible to non-Spanish speakers. The previous title means, “ThePuppets.TV” in Spanish.

This sitcom adaptation of the long-running webisode series about a ragtag group of Latino puppets trying to put on an edgy show, stars a mustachioed puppet host: Señor Loro — a recently arrived Cuban exile parrot, who claims to have been Fidel Castro’s personal pet! He sets up a studio in an “undisclosed location” in Hollywood where he regularly broadcasts his wacky internet show starring his hodgepodge troupe of puppets in provocative sketches coupled with odd assemblages of celebrity stars. All this, to aim for his dream of receiving a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Series!

Felix produces, shoots, writes, directs, edits and also puppeteers many of the characters for the ongoing YouTube series.

Newest screenplay entitled: "The Outrageously Homofunky Adventures of Sergio Menendez".
