The Richmond Times- Dispatch calls him “a master entertainer” and the Phoenix New Times calls him “absolutely super-fabulous!”

In May, Estrada was named the 2023 Boast Rattle Champion at the Rubber City Comedy Festival in Akron, Ohio. The unique competition is like a traditional roast battle, but the comedians must battle with compliments instead of insults.

“Jade Esteban Estrada is a fantastic comedian,” raved Josh Shirley of The Art of Bombing podcast. “Not only is he a great comic, he does one-liner, rapid-fire type stuff that’s just old-school, Vegas-style comedy that you don’t see as much anymore, which gives him his own real flair for the craft. He also came up through the ranks differently, which makes what he does so unique.”
