Aida Rodriguez is a name you're going to remember.
The Afro-Latina stand-up comedian, actress and writer has been performing to packed houses all over the country and even abroad. She rose through the ranks of comedy over the past 15 years and has made a name for herself as a force to be reckoned with in the industry. She writes her own story and refuses to be defined by anyone else's expectations.
Rodriguez is the type of comedian who doesn't pull any punches. She's been making audiences howl with laughter for years, from her breakout appearance on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" in 2014 to two standalone specials -- including a spot on Netflix's anthology comedy series "Tiffany Haddish Presents: They Ready" with Wanda Sykes and her special "Fighting Words" on HBO Max, released in 2021. Rodriguez previously made history as the first Latina to appear in two specials aired over the course of one month on both HBO and Showtime. She's also appeared on Comedy Central's "The Nightly Show," she's a regular panelist on "The Young Turks," and she's a five-time host of the PBS Imagen Awards.
There's no subject too controversial or taboo for this fearless and funny comedian. Rodriguez mixes stories about life on the road and family shenanigans with politics and pop culture observations in a performance style that is at times witty, tough-talking and relatable. She has a particularly deft touch with dating and family life material, never afraid to reach deep into personal traumas and weave a sharp-witted exposition as the expert satirist she is.
As a mother and a woman in comedy, Rodriguez also has a unique perspective on body image and other issues that affect women in society today. She fearlessly takes on these topics and others like them with a stunning honesty and sincerity rare among comedians.
Born in Boston and raised between the Dominican Republic, New York and Miami, Rodriguez uses her unique experiences as a single mother and a woman of color to share her story through comedy. In 2020, it was announced that Rodriguez would once again team up with Tiffany Haddish on a project for HBO Max and Haddish's She Ready production company. The show follows an Afro-Latina comedian, played by Rodriguez, and her struggle to break into the comedy world while raising two teenagers.
Rodriguez is a staple on the stand-up circuit, performing all over the country at venues like The Laugh Factory (with locations in Chicago, Los Angeles and Las Vegas), Gotham Comedy Club (New York), and The Comedy Store (Los Angeles). When she brings her biting, fierce routine to the stage, you don't want to be the one to miss out.
Aida Rodriguez was great! I love her delivery and range of topics and she had us laughing for her entire set. She touches on things that are relatable in a sincere but humorous manner. Opening act Lance Woods was hilarious too. Can’t wait to see her again!
They say laughter is our best medicine. My guests and I had the best time yet. Aida is funny as heck, even when she’s just standing there looking out at the audience. I loved every minute of it.
We had an amazing time! Aida is so raw, funny, and entertaining. Love her vulnerability and authenticity! If you dont like what she gotta say you know what to do!! Chomp chomp!
I really enjoy myself it was my first time attending this show Aida really did a wonderful job all jokes was rich to this world she had a wonderful act with all the other comedy folks on stage it was the best show ever I love comedy
First time being to a comedy show. Aida was great had us laughing so hard. We would go watch her again.
Absolutely awful! NOT as advertised! NOT the brightest funniest comics! NO rip roaring laughter. Mostly bawdy lesbian jokes with visuals. April Macie was a polished performer but delivered bawdy jokes limited to oral sex. Aida Rodriguez was unpolished and fidgety and she repeated herself. Chaunte Wayans seemingly unprepared slowly told first hand stories of Lesbian experiences and many people left during her portion of the show. There are many successful Women Comedians whose material goes beyond lesbian sex. I'm no prude and enjoy a good sex joke but after the first few lesbian jokes it was tediously unfunny. I bought 9 tickets and would like a full refund as none of my 9 guests enjoyed the show. We expected better from this venue! If the Ads were accurate I wouldn't have wasted the $376.20! Sign me disappointed and disgusted!
I liked the first 2 ladies and the 3rd I had seen before and loved. This time she was different, her material was not as funny and I left to go to the rest room and upon returning many caucasian audience members were walking out. My friends were as well. They described the content as being racist and offensive, so they left.
Opening act was best. Headliner had no business being part of show. She was not funny or entertaining
My family had an enjoyable night with Aida. All age groups related to her comedy with laughter. She was smooth, relax, and unrepented. My opinion of Aida is a sweetly seasoned comedienne.
Aida Rodriguez put on an absolutely brilliant performance! She's mixes life and comedy together like no one else on the comedy scene, with her in your face style. Don't be offended tho, just sit back, relax and enjoy the brilliance!
