Breaking New Ground
This Reno debut marks another milestone in Alonzo’s extensive comedy career. The performer has built a reputation for connecting with audiences across the country through her relatable storytelling and cultural observations, making her first appearance in Reno a noteworthy addition to her tour schedule.
Major Netflix Special Coming Soon
While Reno fans have the May performance to look forward to, Alonzo also recently announced a significant career highlight coming this summer. According to her Instagram, she’ll be taping a Netflix special on June 14 at the historic Majestic Theater in Dallas, Texas.
“SEE YOU IN TWO MONTHS. DALLAS TEXAS. NETFLIX TAPING. MAJESTIC THEATER. JUNE 14. TWO SHOWS,” she announced in a separate post. This upcoming special represents another major platform for the comedian to showcase her talents to a global audience.
Pioneer In Comedy And Television
Cristela Alonzo has established herself as a trailblazer in the entertainment industry. In 2014, she made history as the first Latina to create, produce, write, and star in her own U.S. network show, the ABC sitcom “Cristela.” Though the series ran for one season, it marked a significant breakthrough for Latina representation in mainstream television.
Born and raised in San Juan, Texas, Alonzo draws heavily from her Mexican-American heritage and working-class upbringing in her comedy. These authentic experiences have helped her connect with audiences while addressing important social topics through humor.
Her career achievements extend beyond stand-up and television. Alonzo voiced the character Cruz Ramirez in the Pixar film “Cars 3” (2017) and published a memoir titled “Music to My Years” in 2019, further establishing her versatility as an entertainer.
Personal Touches On Social Media
Between tour announcements, Alonzo maintains an active and often humorous social media presence. Recent posts include light-hearted observations about everyday life, reflections on her youth, and glimpses into her current activities.
She also demonstrates her cultural connections, occasionally posting in Spanish. In a Holy Week post, she shared “En el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo…amen” (In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit…amen), showing how her heritage remains an important part of her identity.
As Cristela Alonzo prepares for her Reno debut, fans can expect the authentic, observational humor that has made her a respected voice in comedy. With her Netflix special on the horizon and a busy tour schedule, 2025 is shaping up to be a significant year for this groundbreaking performer.
Tickets for the May 3 show at Atlantis Reno are available now, with Alonzo encouraging fans in her post: “Hope to see you there!”
