Nana Rodriguez is a bold and dynamic Chicago-based comedian, producer, and cannabis advocate who brings an electrifying presence to every performance. Raised as the youngest and only daughter in a big Mexican family, she mastered quick wit and toughness early—traits that now fuel her roaring, fearless comedic style. A Business Management graduate from Columbia College, her path to laughter began with heartbreak: after a breakup, she hit the mic, delivered her raw truths, and instantly connected with the audience—launching her comedy career with a powerful bang.
Offstage, Nana is equally impactful. She founded Pa Fuera Productions and co-produces popular showcases like Sabado Night Laughs (with Las Locas Comedy) and the “420 Edition” shows at Surge Billiards. Her energy and humor have headlined the Chingona Comedy Hour as well as many other packed showcases across Chicago venues like Laugh Factory, Comedy Bar, Lincoln Lodge—and she’s featured for talents like Ruben Ramirez and Chingo Bling. Nana’s fierce voice and dedication to uplifting underrepresented comics make her a rising star in the comedy scene.
