Closing this Big Pine Performer Showcase: Marcella Arguello

Marcella is a stand up comedian, writer and actor whose comedy knows no bounds; she eagerly discusses any and every topic that tickles her. From dating short guys - because she has no other options at 6’2’’ - to being mistaken for a man, her Latinx identity, her take on race & gender, and wild stories & situations she’s gotten herself in and out of. Marcella’s debut half hour comedy special Bitch, Grow Up. on HBO & HBO Max is quickly becoming a comedy classic. It’s a half hour that fully represents the comedian’s abilities to handle all forms of comedy - from one liners to stories to crowd work, the seventeen years she’s put in really shines through. Of the special, Latin Media writes that Marcella “manages to ruffle feathers while delivering a routine that feels absolutely joyous.” Decider.com writes, “she has earned this moment.”
