5:30pm: FEATURING RENEE SANTOS-COMEDIAN/ACTRESS
Los Angelos California!
Revving with verve and theatrics, Renée Santos gives you a little bit of everything: funny voices, wordplay, musical comedy, rapturous storytelling. She is a multidimensional, multi-talented, capital-e Entertainer. She endears through natural showmanship, genuineness, and artistic integrity—swearing like a sailor and pulling no punches. She endures personal tragedy, like family drama, pregnancy, and sobriety, through a liberal, lesbian lens, with nuance, passion, intelligence, and forthright humor. The comedian has lived a full life and isn’t afraid to relay it in bold, proud, salty, vibrant, meticulous detail. Renée Santos is playful to the punch, sarcastic to the swerve, funny to the core, and impactful to the soul.
Santos burst onto the national comedy scene 2 years ago with her celebrated appearance in the “outrageous” Showtime stand-up comedy special, “PRIDE COMEDY JAM.” Most recently, she earned a Residency at The Broadway Comedy Club in NYC and performed alongside Comedienne Wanda Sykes in the Dominican Republic for the 40th Anniversary Olivia Cruises Punta Cana Vacation. Although she has a natural funny bone, Santos has also been working hard as an actress. Her credits include the Jerry Bruckheimer produced CBS sci-fi series “Eleventh Hour”, TNT’s new crime drama “Murder in the First” airing June 15th, 2015, and Showtime’s “Californication.” In addition, Santos has 2 commercials airing nationwide for One-a-Day Vitamins and Snackwells, she brings her performing artist resume full circle with her voice-over abilities landing her regular gigs on the ‘looping’ scene, including numerous Disney projects and the NBC hit-series “Brothers and Sisters.
