Comedians Pay Tribute to Marilyn Martinez

Last week, dozens of comedians, including Andrew "Dice" Clay, Gabriel Iglesias (Comedy Central), Luenell Campbell ("Borat"), Joey Medina ("Original Latin Kings of Comedy"), gathered at The Comedy Store to eulogize comedienne Marilyn Martinez.

Marilyn Martinez, 52, died on November 3rd of colon cancer.
