Cristela Alonzo returns to Netflix in her third stand-up comedy special, Upper Classy.
In this newest special, Cristela is in the pursuit of happiness. Whether finding out she’s doing better than her high school bully, visiting a spa and getting too much self-care, or taking her family on their first vacation ever, Cristela teaches her family (and herself) how to enjoy life, whether they like it or not.
Alonzo is a comedian, writer, actress, and producer who made history in 2014 as the first Latina to create, produce, write, and star in her own network sitcom with Cristela on ABC, a semi-autobiographical series that drew on her working-class upbringing in Texas. Starting to experiment with stand-up back when she was working as an office manager at the Addison Improv in Dallas, TX in the early 2000s, she was a semi-finalist on Last Comic Standing in 2010 and has also been seen on the likes of Conan, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand Up Revolution, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Live at Gotham.
Alonzo has also voiced roles in projects like His Dark Materials and Cars 3 and released her memoir, Music to My Years: A Mixtape-Memoir of Growing Up and Standing Up, in 2019.
Cristela Alonzo: Upper Classy premieres globally on September 23, 2025 only on Netflix.
