In Sacafiesta, Jack Espinosa recounts his experiences as a comedian and entertainer - as a child in Ybor City, as a young man touring clubs in post-War United States and pre-Castro Cuba, and later as a family man whose infectious humor helps him transition from janitor to high school social studies teacher overnight. Like his first memoir, Cuban Bread Crumbs, Espinosa weaves wry and witty tales of growing up as son of Spanish immigrants with keen observations about the rich cultural history of his beloved Tampa.
