You’ve probably seen me on Netflix, Hulu, or HBO Max. And if you haven’t yet, you will...

Comedy, for me, has always been about connection—finding the humor in real life and sharing it in a way that brings people together. Whether I’m on stage, on screen, or behind the camera, I strive to bring authenticity, sharp storytelling, and my own perspective as a Venezuelan-American into everything I create.

I star in the upcoming feature The Unexpecteds, executive produced by Kevin Smith, premiering October 14. Audiences may also recognize me from Netflix’s Gentefied and Hulu’s This Fool. Beyond acting, I directed, co-wrote, and starred in my debut comedy short Zoo Animals, which is now streaming on HBO Max.

My stand-up career has taken me across the country and onto some incredible stages. I’ve filmed two comedy specials—Venezuela’Merican, produced by Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond), and HBO’s Entre Nos. Earlier in my career, I was a top 10 finalist on Last Comic Standing, and today I continue touring nationwide, sharing my perspective and humor with audiences in comedy clubs and theaters throughout North America.

On screen, I’ve had the chance to work on a wide range of TV and film projects. My credits include Showtime’s Shameless, Steve Carell’s Angie Tribeca, Netflix’s Lady Dynamite, Comedy Central’s @midnight, multiple appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and voice acting as Marmoset in the animated hit Rio as well as in Cartoon Network’s Victor and Valentino.

As a writer and performer, I’m proud to be an alum of Lorne Michaels’ Mas Mejor, where I wrote, directed, and starred in comedy sketches. My debut comedy album Vayalo broke into the Billboard Comedy Top 5 and streams exclusively on SiriusXM. I’ve also performed in the CBS Diversity Showcase, won first place at the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, and was featured in American Latino’s Latino Out Loud documentary, which highlighted my journey in comedy.

I continue to create, perform, and push my work in new directions—whether through stand-up, acting, writing, or voice work—always striving to connect with audiences through honest, original comedy.

If You Tell Anyone… is a Documentary written and produced by Norman Fried, PhD; Nathan Spiteri, and Dean Love.

This film is based on the true-life story of Australian born author/actor Nathan Spiteri, adapted from his memoir Toy Cars; One Man’s Journey from Trauma to Triumph. Raped at the age of 8 years old by a man in a public locker room, Nathan endured five years of repeated abuse. His abuser kept him quiet by telling him… “If you tell anyone, I’ll kill you and I’ll kill your whole family.” As in all abusive relationships, Nathan was groomed and manipulated to believe that what was happening to him was his own fault.  Nathan was unable to tell anyone about what had happened to him for 25 years. As a result, his adult life spiraled into addictions to alcohol, drugs and sex. He became suicidal before finally breaking down and telling someone what had happened to him.

Nathan is now able to tell his story through the artistic structure of this documentary. The film explores the arch of transformation that young Nathan underwent as he discovered a more redemptive way of living and healing. Through real footage of trauma therapy sessions, Nathan and Dr. Norman Fried describe how healing from child sex abuse is possible.

The goal of the film is to inspire other abuse victims to speak up and to get the help they need; while also helping parents and other caretakers recognize the dangers and symptoms of a child who may be being sexually abused.

This is a powerful and cautionary story about the complexities of childhood trauma and its aftermath, starring Nathan Spiteri and Norman Fried, and directed by three-time Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker Dean Love.

Up All Night, the cult-favorite late-night movie showcase hosted by Rhonda Shear that lit up USA Network from 1989 to 1998, is making its long-awaited return on YouTube.

The revival comes through a partnership between Shear Enterprises, LLC, and Horror Online Video Store Experience, Kings of Horror, which just had its premiere episode on October 25 and now will be back with a special Thanksgiving-themed show on Saturday, November 22, at 10:00PM. And don’t be surprised if Rhonda serves up a celluloid turkey or two.

"Up All Night was never just a show—it was an attitude... and maybe a little eyeliner, cleavage, and sarcasm," said Shear. "Now we’re back—louder, sassier, and somehow even funnier. Teaming up with Kings of Horror means we’re not just dusting off VHS tapes—we’re throwing a full-on horror house party at my Shear Media Studios in Tampa Bay on custom nostalgia-dipped sets. We’ve got a killer team of writers, comedians, and production partners ready to unleash all-new skits, twisted characters, and laugh-your-ass-off moments.”

The series will spotlight indie horror from grassroots DIY to festival standouts, alongside cult classics and premieres. The creative team includes scream queens Linnea Quigley and Felissa Rose, musician John Brennan, special guest /comedic actor Yuki, and filmmaker Richard Gabai.

Not only will this show reconnect Rhonda with her legions of Up All Night fans, it will also introduce her to a new generation who discovered her as the award-winning lingerie mogul behind Rhonda Shear Intimates and the Ahh Bra infomercial sensation.

“I can’t believe Up All Night premiered 30 years ago—this new incarnation is going to blow my longtime fans out of the water—and trust me, we will be dragging a whole new generation into some late-night chaos they didn’t know they needed," exclaimed Shear.

Now streaming on MAX! An Adult Swim Original!

Apart from the film, Andrea is also the face of Delta Airlines' 2022 campaign voiced by Viola Davis, and as such has had the privilege of some incredible globetrotting adventures. You’ll rarely catch her in one place for too long, and if you’re looking to plan a trip she can share where to eat, what to do, and where to stay. She can also touch on her Jamaican upbringing and how it shaped her as a performer and how she got into the sketch comedy scene.

Andrea’s credits include hit films such as PAIN HUSTLERS (with Emily Blunt and Chris Evans) and the starring role of Zoe in the Adult Swim franchise YULE LOG (which is also streaming on MAX). Additional credits include THE GAME, TRUE LIES, REASONABLE DOUBT, ATLANTA, DOPESICK, and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS, amongst others.  

In her spare time, Andrea finds solace in writing, playing the harmonica, trying new recipes without following the instructions, playing jazz for her plants, and traveling internationally.

His upcoming debut album Ran Through (out 10/25 on Blonde Medicine) absolutely excels at crass (but not toxic) jokes about sex, drugs, and residual trauma - the kind of jokes that you can’t help but laugh at while also relating to it just a little too much.

After this year’s explosive success of Marvel’s X-Men ‘97 on Disney+, the highly anticipated memoir of series star Lenore Zann (aka Rogue) is here. An award-winning actor, singer, writer, and four-term elected politician, Zann has crafted a stirring autobiography about overcoming multiple challenges while navigating life’s journey during uncertain and dangerous times.

Beloved by fans worldwide for her portrayal of the powerful, yet lonely superhero Rogue in the original X-Men: The Animated Series, Zann’s own “origin story” is, like the sexy southern belle herself, super-charged - with lots of spice to go along with the “Sugah”!

And, when personal tragedy inspired Zann’s gut-wrenching performance in this year’s Primetime Emmy-nominated episode

Remember It, the universal outpouring of emotion by viewers “broke” the internet. Fans continue to share stories online and in person about how Zann’s critically acclaimed performance as Rogue has helped shape their lives, giving them the strength to overcome their own fear, loss, and grief, as well as learning to accept themselves as they are.

Inspired by these fans to tell her story to a wider audience, Lenore Zann presents A ROGUE’S TALE: A MEMOIR.

From adding his quick witted commentary on comedy round tables, to becoming a New York Times Bestselling Author, writing on hit television shows, and headlining stand-up comedy tours across the nation, Wolf has proved time and time again he is one of the most dynamic and multi-faceted comedians in the entertainment business. Wolf is currently a regular round table guest and writer on the hit E! series “Chelsea Lately,” and recently appeared as a performer on the new E! series “After Lately.”

In March 2013, Wolf will debut his latest book, “It Takes Balls: Dating Single Moms and Other Confessions from an Unprepared Single Dad” [Grand Central Publishing.] Funny and brutally honest, the book details Wolf’s adventures as a struggling stand up comedian, while juggling being a single parent in Los Angeles.
