Casey Larwood (Comedians You Should Know)

Headliner: Marcella Arguello (Bitch, Grow Up! on HBO/Max)
Marcella Arguello is a stand up comedian, writer and actor whose comedy knows no bounds; she eagerly discusses any and every topic that tickles her. From dating short guys – because she has no other options at 6’2’’ – to being mistaken for a man, her Latinx identity, her take on race & gender, and wild stories & situations she’s gotten herself in and out of. Marcella’s debut half hour comedy special Bitch, Grow Up. was released in 2023 on HBO MAX. It’s a half hour that fully represents the comedians abilities to handle all forms of comedy – from one liners to stories to crowd work – the seventeen years she’s put in absolutely shines through. Of the special, Latin Media writes that Marcella “manages to ruffle feathers while delivering a routine that feels absolutely joyous.” Decider.com writes, “she has earned this moment.”
In 2023, she was seen on Fuse TV’s second season of We Need To Talk About America, where first generation comedians dissect American-centric topics and viral videos. Marcella was also the host of The Cache on Tubi in 2021, a hilarious clip show that infuses Marcella’s unique perspective on viral videos. In 2020, COVID-19 halted the entertainment industry but Marcella managed to guest star in Sarah Cooper’s Netflix Special Everything’s Fine, was seen as a panelist on David Spade’s Lights Out on Comedy Central, killed her over-the-top dance numbers on The Funny Dance Show on E! and had a covid compliant interview on FuseTV’s Like, Share, Dímelo. Her stand up can be seen on the second season of 2 Dope Queens on HBO as well as Night Train with Wyatt Cenac on STARZ; previously she has made a guest appearance on Comedy Central’s Corporate and on episodes of FuseTV’s Trivial Takedown. Recently MSN.com listed Marcella as number 10 in their list of “Top female comedians working in film and television today.“

Headliner: Nana Rodriguez (Laugh After Dark)
Don’t you dare hurt this comedian’s heart, or else you’ll be the next punchline in Nana Rodriguez’s comedy act! Nana’s a proud suburbanite with Chicago roots. Growing up as the youngest of five siblings and the only girl in a big Mexican family, she learned how to hold her own and become a master at defending herself from her brothers’ pranks and wrestling matches. She grew tough skin and a fierce spirit, and watch out for that right hook. Armed with a Business Managment degree from Columbia College, she landed a gig promoting nightclubs. But when her heart got shattered by an ex-girlfriend, she found her true calling in life: standup comedy.
With the fearlessness of an Aries, Nana took up her friend’s challenge to hit an open mic. And man, did she kill it! Her storytelling skills were on point as she shared her heartbreak with the crowd. And just like that, Nana became a comedy sensation, leaving everyone in stitches. So, next time you’re in the mood for some good laughs, Nana’s got you covered.
When Nana isn’t headlining shows, she’s producing them. She’s currently co-producing Sabado Night Laughs with Las Locas Comedy and a cannabis show at the Smokeasy at Rise Mundelein. Her most recent announcement is she’ll be producing two shows a month at the Smoke Lounge starting in 2024. Nana has featured for Ruben Ramirez, Ken Flores, and Chingo Bling. She recently performed at Laugh After Dark ComedyFest 2024 and had a comedy clip go viral with over a million views. And when she’s not out looking for hoes, she’s chillin’ with her fur babies Margo, Kubo, Theo, and Moco.
