Cristela Alonzo
Mexican-American Stand-Up Comedienne, Actress, Writer & Producer; Creator & Star of ABC's "Cristela"
Cristela Alonzo made TV history by being the first Latina to create, produce and star in a network TV sitcom, "Cristela," an achievement which caps a whirlwind year. She was also the first Latina to star in a Disney Pixar movie, where she appeared as Cruz Ramirez in Cars 3.
She released "Some of the Hits," her first stand-up CD through Comedy Central, was a viewer favorite as a featured guest host on ABC's "The View" and made her feature film debut in the hit Angry Birds movie. She released her first hour stand-up special "Lower Classy" on Netflix in January 2017.
She's performed at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, the Bonnaroo Music Festival and is a favorite at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal. She also taped "The Half Hour," her first half-hour special in Boston, which premiered in June 2013 on Comedy Central.
Aside from comedy, Alonzo focuses on advocacy work, fighting for issues that range from immigration, universal healthcare and lower income communities with numerous organizations including Special Olympics Texas, People for the United Way, Planned Parenthood, LUPE (La Union del Pueblo Entero) and serves as advisory board member for Define American.
In 2019, Alonzo published a memoir called "Music to My Years: A Mixtape-Memoir of Growing Up and Standing Up." The memoir release is accompanied by a stand-up tour called "My Affordable Care Act."
Alonzo is based in LA and when not on tour, can be found performing at various clubs around town, including her home club, the Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, CA.
