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!

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.

Your Support Matters
Proceeds from this package support each participating business, as well as the Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce. GRCC is a non-profit organization that relies heavily on special events to fund our work supporting local small businesses. When festivals like Ravenswood On Tap and Ravenswood ArtWalk were cancelled in 2020, we lost vital revenue. Now more than ever, your support has a huge impact on our mission to foster a vibrant, sustainable, hyper-local economy in Ravenswood.

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!

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.
