Cristela Alonzo
Cristela Alonzo
Stand-up
Cristela Alonzo is a powerhouse comedian, writer, and actress whose sharp wit and infectious charm have made her a standout voice in comedy today. Most recently, she served as a co-producer on Happy’s Place and continues to bring her unique perspective to screens big and small.
Her latest Netflix comedy special, Upper Classy, premiered on September 23, following the success of her previous hits Middle Classy and Lower Classy — a trilogy that hilariously traces her journey from humble beginnings to unapologetic self-awareness.
On the acting front, Cristela has appeared in Netflix’s The Laundromat, starring alongside legends Meryl Streep and Gary Oldman, and before that, she made history as the creator and star of her own ABC sitcom, Cristela.
A regular favorite on The View and a familiar face from Conan, Cristela has also been featured on Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution, and Showtime’s Legally Brown. 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.

Francisco Ramos has crafted a fan base by leaning into his warm & energetic style of comedy. He's emerging as one of the up and coming comics of his generation. He can be seen in the recurring character of Felix in the outstanding new show on Netflix - GENTEFIED. He was a top-ten finalist on Last Comic Standing and continues touring as a comedian across North America. Having made a noteworthy impact HBO presented an opportunity to shoot a standup special for "Entre Nos".

Having voiced the role of King Marmoset in the animated film RIO and with his unique tone and inflection he was brought on by the Cartoon Network to voice a character in VICTOR & VALENTINO.

Building on that foundation he directed & co-wrote ZOO ANIMALS which has already been accepted to over a dozen festivals, including Just for Laughs; with more to be announced shortly.
Early in his career, Francisco was selected to perform on the CBS Multicultural Diversity Showcase, where he was one of 12 selected from a pool of 5,000 applicants. He was grateful to have placed first in the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival sponsored by NBC/COZI TV. This led to American Latino TV to produce a documentary about his ascent in a crowded landscape with a focus on his family upbringing and unique individual story, for Latino Out Loud (LOL).
His debut album "Vayalo" has been exclusively playing on Sirius XM and has been a top 5 album on the Billboard Comedy Charts.
