Special Event

CODE 3 Comedy Show

with Raymond Orta

This year’s EPMPOA Code 3 Comedy Show will benefit the Ernie Gomez Relief Fund.

The fund provides vital financial assistance to police officers facing medical expenses and unexpected hardships. It was established in honor of Ernesto “Ernie” Gomez (Badge #673, ID #135), who joined the El Paso Police Department in 1964.

In 1987, Ernie was diagnosed with cancer. During his illness, fellow officers came together and “passed the hat,” raising money to help with his medical treatments and related costs. After his passing, the EPMPOA created the fund in his name, ensuring that his legacy of support and brotherhood lives on by helping members in need.

Headliner: Raymond Orta

Featuring: Jorge Jimenez

With performances by Ponchi Herrera, Joe Rosales and Victor Vela

Raymond Orta

Raymond Orta has been doing stand-up comedy since he was 8 years old. He’s like one of those Asian kids with a guitar, but his medium is stand-up comedy. Whether it’s his stage presence, his timing, his spot on impressions, his out of this world sound effects, Raymond Orta is a versatile Comedian to say the least. To say he’s funny is a monumental understatement. Funny doesn’t begin to describe this high energy show that will leave you clutching your ribs, massaging your face, even slapping tables and spitting fluids out of your nose and mouth.. It’s rumored that at one of his shows, he had a lady collapse and had to be taken out by ambulance and receive medical attention. Doctors later discovered that lack of oxygen from excessive laughter had caused her to pass out and lose her bodily function. She was released, but the embarrassment of leaving a puddle of urine on the floor in sighted a lawsuit which is pending against Raymond Orta. Due to this, he now has people at his shows sign a waiver making him not responsible for anything that might happen because of his comedy, which can result in broken ribs, passing out, and even choking on an ice cube.
