ALEC MAPA: BABY DADDY is an outrageous evening of stories and stand. Join "America's Gaysian Sweetheart" Mapa as he hilariously recounts his latest heart stopping adventure on the road to fatherhood. Recently, Alec's life was turned upside down when he and his husband, producer Jamison Hebert (BULLIED) adopted a five-year old boy. How do you go from stand up gigs, red carpets, gay cruises, and circuit parties to being a responsible car pool driving, P.T.A. member? Find out on this fast-paced ride with sudden dips and turns!
Alec's television career has gone from desperate to ugly with not one but two recurring roles on ABC's "Desperate Housewives" and "Ugly Betty". On Wisteria Lane Alec was known as Gabriel Solis' personal shopper "Vern". On "Ugly Betty no gossip report would be complete without the latest from Alec as fashion reporter extraordinaire "Suzuki St. Pierre".
Audiences first discovered Alec on Broadway in the Tony Award winning production of "M. Butterfly". He guest starred on over 40 television series, including Alias, Friends, Roseanne, Seinfeld and NYPD Blue. Alec played network television's very first gay asian series regular role on the short lived CBS sitcom "Some Of My Best Friends". He then starred in four seasons of the UPN sitcom "Half and Half". Film audiences howled at Alec as "N'Cream" in the wildly popular drag queen musical "Connie and Carla". Other films include "Playing By Heart","Marley and Me" and "You Don't Mess with The Zohan". Alec's stand up comedy specials "Wisecrack" and "No Fates, Femmes, or Asians" continue to air on Logo and have gained him a huge cult following.
Alec has entertained live audiences with Rosie O'Donnell aboard her R Family Cruises and all over the world with Atlantis Cruises. Alec was awarded the prestigious Davidson Valentini GLAAD Award for promoting equal rights for the LGBT community. A tireless fundraiser Alec has toured the country on behalf of The Human Rights Campaign and The Matthew Shepard foundation earning him the unofficial title of "America's Gaysian Sweetheart".

The We're Funny That Way Foundation is grateful to Alec for joining the fest for it's final year.
