Viera's passion for comedy ignited during his childhood, inspired by classic TV shows from the 1970s and '80s. He began his stand-up career at the renowned Stand Up New York Comedy Club on Broadway, eventually becoming a regular performer at top venues like Caroline’s on Broadway and Gotham Comedy Club
