Willie Barcena has built a career by sounding like the funniest guy at the family barbecue. His stories wander through marriage, parenting, culture and everyday frustrations, but they’re grounded enough to feel lived instead of written. That’s what has kept him working steadily for decades, from multiple Showtime specials to Netflix’s “The Comedy Lineup.” Barcena doesn’t rely on outrage or gimmicks. He lets the stories do the work, gradually building them into something bigger than where they started. It’s an easygoing style that still sneaks up on audiences with how hard it hits. Goes until Aug 16.
