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 Management 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.

Nana’s more recent achievement is performing at the Fem Fiesta Comedy Festival in San Antonio where she was the winner of the Diverse Voice Award. Nana has featured for some of latinos top comedians, such as Ruben Rameriez, Chona E, Chingo Bling, & Ken Flores. Nana also performed at the 3rd Annual Latina Comedy Festival 2024 in Chicago. She recently performed and was a winner at Laugh After Dark ComedyFest for 2024. She just announced she will be performing at the Louisiana Big Gator Comedy Festival this December for 2024. 

When Nana isn’t headlining shows, she’s producing them. She’s currently co-producing Sabado Night Laughs with Las Locas Comedy. And when she’s not out looking for hoes, she’s chillin’ with her fur babies Margo, Kubo, Theo, and Moco.
