Comedian Ralph Barbosa has been tapped to host Netflix Is a Joke Fest latest Introducing… comedy series, an elite showcase of up-and-coming comedic talent making their first impressions on a worldwide platform as part of North America’s biggest comedy festival.
Last fall, Barbosa saw his debut Netflix special Ralph Barbosa: Cowabunga spend two weeks on the streamer’s Top 10 chart, debuting at #3.

In the latest episode, Ralph introduces the comedy masses to one of the best stand-up comedians traveling the U.S. Glorelys Mora. She covers dating refurbished men, the aunt no one likes, crypto boyfriends, and more.
Stand-Up comedy has afforded her the opportunity to perform and produce comedy shows in Hawaii, San Francisco, Miami, Los Angeles, the Dominican Republic, and more. When she’s not on stage she’s guest-starring in sketches for PERO LIKE, LATINO REBELS, EOP COMEDY, BOUNCE TV, and BEING LATINO. Most recently, she was featured in a Wendy’s advertisement and in a national commercial for SOMOS HEALTH currently airing on Univision and Telemundo.
Prior to the pandemic, she collaborated with the creators of, “Black Card Revoked,” to write the card game, “Latino Card Revoked,” which sold over 20,000 units in its launch year. The card game captures cultural moments, history, and jokes that are inclusive of all Latinx experiences from the West Coast to the East Coast, and the Caribbean.
