CHICO BEAN – Canned Ravioli Tales

Get up close and personal as Chico Bean opens up about his journey to success, beginning at a young age. Raised by a single mother and losing his father to gun violence at just 2 years old, Chico was surrounded by male role models who never fully matured. As a teenager, influenced by his environment, he aspired to become a dope dealer—until an unthinkable loss of a close uncle, who had served as a father figure, forced him to confront the harsh reality that life in the streets often ends in tragedy. Determined to change his path, Chico pursued higher education and eventually graduated from college. It wasn’t until then that comedy entered his life as a new dream and purpose. In this episode, Chico shares the trials, setbacks, and pivotal moments that shaped his life and propelled him toward becoming the successful comic he is today.
