Straight outta the Andes, there’s an unstoppable Peruvian volcano of comedy in the US and her name is Luz Pazos. Luz is on a tear, garnering a finalist spot on Stand Up NBC, featuring on the Kroll Show and Comedy Chingonas on HBOMAX; in addition to winning several comedy competitions like Best Peruvian Female Comic in The 90046 Area Code. She is fast becoming a darling of HBO Max (Comedy Chingonas;The Garcias), regularly performs at The Comedy Store, Improv, Laugh Factory, and many other top venues around the country. Luz also brings her act to festivals across North America such as Ha Comedy festival in San Antonio, SheDot in Toronto, Asheville Comedy Festival in North Carolina, SoCal’s Ventura Comedy Festival, and the All Jane Comedy Festival in Portland, Oregon. Yes, her accent is strong, but her jokes, comedy routines and ability make audiences from all over laugh, are much stronger! Luz is a beauty queen (well former, very former…but don’t tell her that) and a serious and comedic actress of stage and telenovelas. She arrived in the US from Peru via Italy, where she obtained degrees in theater, literature and “men” that she will most likely never use (except for the ‘men’ part). Her love of wealthy men…I mean, stand up and air conditioning brought her to LA, where she has been cracking up crowds with her unapologetic skewering of American culture to great acclaim. Though her experiences living on different continents have given her a broadened world view, she has never lost sight of what’s personal, real and the really annoying… making her stand up relatable and hilarious. When she’s not rocking crowds, she enjoys life’s simple pleasures like boxing llamas, eating stuffed guinea pig, and tennis. Turn-ons: shopping and dining with men who aren’t cheap. Turn-offs: hiking dates. Take her to the mall!

*Special Event*  

Brought to you by Mind Twist Comedy, Teachers Gone Bad showcases a killer lineup of educators-turned-comedians. Whether they’re moonlighting between grading papers or crushing it full-time on the comedy circuit, these performers bring schoolyard absurdity and adult chaos together on stage.

And no, this is not kid-friendly.

​Expect brutally funny tales of embarrassing classroom moments, school politics, and staff room drama. But it doesn’t stop there—we go deep into the hilarious truths of family, marriage, parenthood, and life itself. Nearly every Teachers Gone Bad show has been sold out—teachers show up for one reason: to hear the jokes they wish they could say out loud on campus. With former teachers leading the charge, it’s a full-on catharsis, no punches pulled, and absolutely NO FEAR of HR. Because, honestly, what are they going to do? Fire us twice?​

If you're ready for a night of unapologetic, unfiltered, and downright wicked comedy, Teachers Gone Bad is the show you didn’t know you needed.
