During a hilarious performance on Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring, stand-up comedian Lorena Russi takes the stage to divulge her tips for working on her confidence, the reality of “Gay Divorce” and the time she hit rock bottom by hooking up with her first ever man.

Lorena Russi: A Queer Latinx pro soccer player turned comedy multi-hyphenate. Most recently, Lorena was selected as an IMDB emerging filmmaker as well as a featured Stand Up for Comedy Central and “Netflix is a Joke” Fest. She’s currently developing her original TV pilot with SONY and travels the festival circuit with her film (funded by McDonald’s Latino filmmaker grant). Lorena is a Queens native and is, in fact, walkin’ here. In a past life, she almost pursued a PhD in Media & Gender Studies with Judith Butler (true), but instead opted for a stint as a professional soccer player (also true). And somehow, she’s straight (this is a lie). Lorena’s work** explores her various passions through the lens of laughter, identity, female rabble-rousers, and failure. In the real world, catch her teaching comedy workshops or helping people pronounce her name.

Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring: Half-hour stand-up specials have been a staple of the Comedy Central brand since the 90s. Even though the name of the TV show changed a few times and the airings have shifted online. Regardless, they are still alive and going strong.

Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents, formerly known as The Half Hour, is an American stand-up comedy television series that airs on Comedy Central in the United States. The program features various stand-up comedians in each episode. It replaced the similar program Comedy Central Presents in 2012.

Every episode features an up-and-coming comedian or sometimes a group performing an original set of stand-up. The first four seasons of the show where filmed at the Royale theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. Beginning with the fifth season, the comedians now perform their sets at the Civic Theatre in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was announced that a sixth season was picked up with 14 new stand-up comedians given their own set. It was also announced that the show will be retitled Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents.

The Half Hour shines a spotlight on some of the funniest and most unusual voices in stand-up comedy.
