Full Lineup to be announced soon
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.”
Full bar and menu available. 2 item minimum per person. 21+ to enter and drink. Buy your tickets in advance!* For more info about Las Locas Comedy please visit laslocascomedy.com and follow us on social media at @laslocascomedy and #sabadonightlaughs.
