President’s Banquet Entertainment: Comedian Cristela Alonzo
The ICCFA is pleased to announce that comedian Cristela Alonzo will perform at the President’s Welcome Reception on the evening of Wednesday, April 30!
Cristela Alonzo made history as the first Latina to create, produce, and star in her own network sitcom, Cristela, for ABC, and she broke new ground again as the first Latina lead in a Disney Pixar film, voicing Cruz Ramirez in Cars 3. A favorite guest host on The View, Cristela also tours the country performing to sold-out audiences, and her two Netflix stand-up specials, Lower Classy and Middle Classy, dive into her experiences growing up in a lower-class, minority household and navigating adult life’s privileges and challenges.
Cristela’s comedy career extends to podcasting as the host of The Hall: Honoring the Greats of Stand-Up, part of Netflix Is a Joke. This season, she delves into the legacies of comedy legends like George Carlin, Joan Rivers, Richard Pryor, and Robin Williams. Her memoir, Music to My Years, captures her journey from a first-generation Mexican-American upbringing in Texas to building a trailblazing career in comedy.
Beware of Scammers!
The ICCFA does not utilize any outside organizations to provide services like hotel bookings, discounts, etc. It has come to our attention that once again, unscrupulous companies are contacting our community offering booking services and deals. If you are contacted by any of these companies, we strongly discourage you from utilizing them as they are not associated with the ICCFA and may result in a scam.
