Hey Locas Fam!
We’re only a few months into 2025, and I already feel like I’ve lived a whole telenovela season’s worth of comedy, chaos, and creativity — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
First off, THANK YOU to everyone who’s come out to support the shows so far this year. Whether it was a packed house in Chicago, an intimate indie space in Madison or South Bend, or hitting Texas as part of the Fem Comedy Fiesta, your energy keeps me going.
What I’ve Been Up To:
Since the start of the year, I’ve been hitting the stage harder than ever. I’ve had the honor of performing at some incredible venues and showcases — sharing stories, laughs, and plenty of “you had to be there” moments. Every show reminds me why I started this journey: to make space for Latinas (and all underrepresented voices) to be loud, hilarious, and unapologetically ourselves.
Highlights? Too many! But a few standouts include:
Local showcases that reminded me how much I love this city and its people.
Hitting cities in the Midwest and Southwest with my comedy — spreading the Las Locas love and making new fans (and drinking all their margaritas).
And of course, Las Locas Comedy shows that continue to pack out and bring the house down every. single. time.
What’s Coming Up:
You know I can’t sit still, so 2025 is only just getting started for me. Here’s what I’m looking forward to next:
🔥 Latina Comedy Festival 2025 – YUP, it’s coming back October 2nd-4th, 2025 and bigger than ever. I’m so excited to be part of this incredible celebration of Latina talent from across the country. More details coming soon, but just know… you don’t want to miss it. Also, buy tickets NOW for our 1/2 Way to the Fest Fundraiser on Saturday, April 19th at 5pm at Lincoln Lodge.
🎤 More Las Locas Comedy Events – I’m back on my producer grind! We’re planning new shows, fresh lineups, and even some surprises in the works. If you’ve ever wanted to perform, volunteer, or just come laugh with us — now is the time.
💡 Plus, I’m working behind the scenes on even more ways to bring Latina voices to the forefront. Podcasting? Touring? Workshops? All on the table. Stay tuned.
To everyone who’s supported me — thank you. To everyone I haven’t met yet — I can’t wait to make you laugh.
Here’s to more mic drops, more laughs, and más locura in 2025.
Con mucho amor y sarcasmo (and learning mas Spanish!),
Janice
