Cristian Gutierrez — the man Houston will know on Saturday night as Concrete — came to stand-up comedy the way a lot of the best ones do: through every other room first. The San Fernando Valley native started as a hip-hop artist, putting tracks like “Certified Kush” and “We Can Make It Rain” on national rotation through Power 106 and dozens of other stations. He’s now co-host of Brown Bag Mornings on Power 106, one of Los Angeles’ flagship morning programs, while simultaneously logging tour dates from Texas to California. That background — the sense of rhythm, the calibration of a crowd, the instinct for when to push and when to let the room breathe — you notice it the moment he steps up. The stage name is Concrete. The material, by all accounts, earns it.
On Saturday, June 20, Concrete brings his That’s Not Me Comedy Tour to House of Blues Houston at 7:00 PM.
About Concrete and Jerry Garcia
The co-headlining format here matters more than it usually does. Jerry Garcia — Houston audiences should know the name independent of the Grateful Dead guitarist, though he’s made peace with the comparison — has been one of the sharper presences on the national circuit for the better part of a decade. His credits run from Fox’s Laughs (2016) through Netflix’s They Can’t Deport Us All (2017), HBO’s Entre Nos (2018), and HBO Max’s It’s Not My Weekend (2019), and he followed that run with his own 2023 special, Father Figure. A father of three, Garcia works material built around single fatherhood, dating, and the particular comedic texture of Latino family life — territory he covers with the kind of specificity that makes a room recognize itself on stage.
The two alternate sets throughout a show running ninety minutes to two hours. The That’s Not Me Comedy Tour carries across eleven U.S. cities from June through December 2026 — Texas, California, Utah, Arizona, Illinois. Concrete also presented at Netflix Is A Joke Festival 2026, which is as clear a marker as any for where he sits in the current landscape.
Off stage, his résumé is expansive: acting credits on FX’s Wilfred and the HBO-featured Green Card Warriors, a starring role in Horchata & Oatmilk (2025), and an appearance in Sony Pictures’ Clika, produced by Rancho Humilde. His video direction catalog has crossed 500 million views across platforms. He’s built a social media following of 1.8 million. The work is everywhere. The stage is where it started, and Saturday night at Caroline Street is where it comes through clearest.
