Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, Raymond & Miguel grew up in a culture that values humor and laughter. They were inspired by the great comedians of their time and knew from a young age that they wanted to make people laugh. They started their careers performing in local comedy clubs. In the 1990s, they met doing sketch comedy on The Caribe Show and quickly gained a following for their unique style of comedy.


Their chemistry on stage, complete with impeccable comedic timing, is undeniable. But their ability to connect with the audience is what really sets them apart from other comedians. Raymond & Miguel's humor is rooted in everyday situations that Dominicans can relate to. They tackle topics such as family, relationships, and cultural idiosyncrasies with a lighthearted approach that resonates with audiences. Their ability to find humor in the mundane is what makes them so beloved by their fans.


Raymond & Miguel are not just comedians, but also actors, writers, and producers — over the past 30 years, they have honed their craft and expanded their repertoire. They starred in numerous television shows, such as La opción de las 12, Quédate ahí, Atrapados, and Titirimundaty y Tremenda opción del Sábado. In 2004, they created their very own television show, El Show de Raymond y Miguel, broadcast on Telemicro. They also starred in the movie La vida de los Reyes, which chronicles their life and career. Raymond & Miguel have won several Soberanos Awards in the field of humor. They were also crowned "The new kings of humor" by the legendary Dominican comedians Freddy Beras-Goico, Cuquín Victoria and Felipe Polanco "Boruga.”

One of the reasons why Raymond & Miguel have become such beloved figures in the Dominican Republic is their commitment to giving back to their community. They have used their platform to raise awareness about important social issues and have organized charity events to support those in need.
