Ratas De Dos Patas is a collective of four boss womxn who in have taken the Chicago improv scene by storm! Abigail Pinon, Kendra Jamaica, Jessi Realzola, and Marilet Martinez are fierce Latinxs that bring comedy, cultura, and corazon to the stage! In the short time they have been together (well because does 2020 even count?), they have had multiple successful runs at the Annoyance Theatre and were nominated for Outstanding Improv Ensemble by the Alliance of Latinx Theatre Artists. They have performed in the Melanin Festival at Second City, a sold-out crowd at Steppenwolf’s Lookout Series: Las Locas presents Look Out for Locas, and at Femprovisor Fest 2019! Always looking to highlight diverse talent, RDDP intentionally curates their shows to feature POC, LGBTQ, and differently-abled performers. In 2019, they produced a sold out, standing room only Dia De Los Muertos show combining cultural ritual with improv and a Loteria fundraiser for the Chicago Period Project. During the pandemic, they also produced a Dia De Los Muertos short film with proceeds going to Black Lives Matter and Raices.

When COVID-19 hit in March of 2020, it set the entire plans of Las Locas Comedy upside down. Once we emerged from our collective shock and brain fog, we decided to start interviewing some of our favorite #locas4life to check in and talk about all the important issues of the summer of 2020 including the Black Lives Matter movement.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be uploading more of our interviews to our YouTube channel.  Not surprisingly, we’re still going through the same issues 9+ months later. Catch up and subscribe to our channel!

Las Locas Comedy is back with season 2 of Las Locas Live, our Facebook Live show that interviews some of your favorite #locas4life to talk about important and not so important issues alike. We’re excited to have a featured comedian from our October 2020 show, the hilarious Maria De La Ghetto, as our guest on a first episode of Season 2 on Thursday, January 14th, 2021 at 8pm central time.  You can view this loca interview show for FREE on Facebook Live or on Lady Laugh’s Comedy Twitch Channel.  For a Facebook reminder when we go live, please select GET REMINDER here.

Maria De La Ghetto is an LA-based comedian, born in the Philippines, but raised in Highland Park, a neighborhood in North East Los Angeles. Growing up half Filipino and half Mexican made for an interesting upbringing because everyone thought she was Hawaiian. Her comedy is a collection of experiences from navigating being a misfit in minority groups to being the fat kid in class. She’s performed at San Diego clubs such as Mad House Comedy Club and The Comedy Palace, and in LA Comedy Clubs such as the Flappers Comedy Club and Haha Comedy Cafe. She is currently part of The Misfit Toys Comedy Studio, a studio that focuses on promoting women in comedy. She co-hosts a weekly live show every Thursday at 2pm PST with the Misfit Toys.
