Melissa Diaz is a
comic, writer, and actress from the Bronx.
As a
youngster, Melissa made up stories and plays for her friends and
family, which were supposed to be very serious, extremely epic tragedies that,
instead, made everyone crack up. Now she
talks about overcoming the patriarchy while patrons drink beer and laugh in her
face. Melissa co-produces two comedy
shows: Bunga’s Den every 1st
and 3rd Wednesday of the month, and a monthly comedy/variety
showcase at New York Comedy Club every second Friday of the month. http://www.melissadiazcomedy.com/
