He was influenced by popular rock icons like Elvis Presley and The Beatles as well as American retired wrestler Ric Flair. He also tried his luck applying for a writer position in different television networks but failed to make the cut.[2]

Career

Sarita has been an amateur comedian since 2008, but didn't get noticed until 2015 when he rose to fame as a contestant for It's Showtime's The Funny One, a segment dedicated for budding comedians. Dubbed as Rakistang Komikero (Rocker Comedian), he is notable for his non-sequitur anti-humor and deadpan delivery of jokes as well as his famous catchphrase "O'right! Rock 'N Roll to the World" that eventually became popular online.[3] He was already eliminated in the earlier rounds, but was given a second chance in the wildcard and face-off rounds.[4] He was given an almost perfect score by the judges to become the first-ever grand winner of the competition.[5] He once performed with Hong Kong-based famous stand-up comedian Vivek Mahbubani during a gig in Cebu.

On August 10, 2015, he made his debut as an It's Showtime's resident stand-up comedian and one of show's co-hosts, Vanessa Kins. March 28, 2017. He, along with veteran comedian Bayani Agbayani and other Funny One finalists, is set to star in a new sitcom entitled Funny Ka Pare Ko.[6]

He is one of the comedians of Comedy Manila, an organization that produces quality comedy shows featuring local and foreign acts in the Philippines.[7]
