It was just past midnight on Wednesday, but the party was still in full flourish for Carlos Mencia. The veteran comic had taken over the karaoke show at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club, where he performs in residency and is back again Thursday.

Wearing black Adidas sweat pants and a “Star Wars” stormtrooper T-shirt, Mencia moved around the room, mic in hand, singing along to the Backstreet Boys, “Tell me why, ain’t nothin’ but a heartache. Tell me why, ain’t nothing but a mistaaaaake …”

Mencia seemed to be making up for lost time after doing time. He had just been released from jail in Van Nuys, California, on Monday morning after posting a $50,000 bond after being arrested Thursday at his home in L.A. The former “Mind of Mencia” star has been charged with tax evasion, allegedly owing the state of California $300,000 in back taxes from 2019 to ‘24.

Mencia arrived on the Strip just before the 9:30 p.m. show. After being introduced by featured comic Gabe Lopez, Mencia cut to the chase about his still-fresh incarceration. He had written 20 minutes of new material specific to this incident.

“I got arrested by the f——- franchise tax board police,” Mencia said in his opening bit for the near-capacity crowd at the Linq Promenade club. “I didn’t even know they had police. I swear, in my head, I expected guys to show up with little calculators and a visor.”
