Navarrete performed his first stand-up routine at the annual Asian Pacific Islander Student Union conference at UC Santa Cruz in 1989. By the early 1990s, his show included portrayals of a mix of non-fictional and fictional characters, many of whom were struggling underdogs. His portrayals included his Uncle Boy and Maritess the domestic worker, each giving him the voice to air his humorous thoughts on issues and touch on many funny things that people from all ethnicities can relate to.

He travels throughout North America and the world, performing his unique brand of comedy in cities including Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, and has performed alongside national headliners such as George Lopez, DL Hughley and Paul Mooney.

Navarrete released his first comedy album "Badly Browned" in 1998 which was followed closely by his second release, "Husky Boy." The two albums became bestsellers on his label, Classified Records. He released his third album, "Bastos," under his own label Kakarabaw Productions in 2001. Navarrete produced, directed and released his first live stand-up DVD, "Hella Pinoy," which was filmed in his hometown of San Francisco. Additionally, he has released live stand-up DVDs "Badass Madapaka" and "Komik Organik."
