Her work behind the camera has earned her multiple awards, including Best Film at the Boston Comedy Festival for her short films. Cristela’s range even extends into drama; she appeared in FX’s acclaimed series Sons of Anarchy, but her heart always brings her back to the stage. She’s currently touring the country with her latest stand-up tour, The Midlife Mixtape Tour, proving that comedy, like life, only gets better with experience.
