The Latino Student Union student organization will present a virtual comedic conversation with Marcella Arguello from HBO's "Two Dope Queens" and Netflix's "Bill Nye Saves the World" at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9.
A rare Latina voice in stand-up, Arguello's talk will feature moderator Francisco Suarez from SUNY Oswego's communication department.
Advance registration is available online. The first 100 to register will have a chance to be part of a special meet and greet. The Zoom link will go live at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 9.
Arguello has been the host and booker of Women Crush Wednesdays, billed as the hottest and most diverse show in Los Angeles every first Wednesday at The Hollywood Improv Lab. Her debut album, "The Woke Bully" -- which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Comedy Charts and was named One Of The Best Comedy Albums of 2019 by NPR program "Bullseye" -- is a combination of her unique perspective and honesty, which captures what it is like to experience her live.
MSN.com listed Marcella as number 10 in their list of "Top female comedians working in film and television today" alongside Amy Schumer, Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong.
A writer for the Netflix series “Bill Nye Saves The World” and on the first season of the James Corden-produced show "Drop The Mic" on TBS, Arguello was a panelist on David Spade’s "Lights Out" on Comedy Central earlier this year, and has appeared on many television shows.
She has worked at improv comedy clubs all over the country, and has performed at The New York Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Chris Hardwick’s ID10T Festival, Riot LA Comedy Festival, Lucille Ball Comedy Fest, and overseas for American troops.
