"I liked making people laugh, but I was never the class clown, " she says. In prepararation for Stand-Up she worked first with an improv troupe. Now with an arsenal of self-depracating jokes about teen pregnancy and dating delivered with a deadpan irony that runs counter to her movie star looks, she's primed for stardom. A recent appearance on the CBS network's COMICS UNLEASHED, regular appearances on SiTV, and status as a sleeper fave at this years LAtinos Laugh Festival have combined to solidify her reputation as a bona fide Latina Queen of Comedy. "She has a very bright future ahead of her," says Festival Founder Jeff Valdez. "When People say 'it factor' it's hard to define. You know when you see it. It's that electric illumination. That's Lisa." Able Salas
