A career spanning over eight years with no end in sight, DeLane has been featured on numerous stand-up comedy television programs, including Comedy Central’s Hart of the City, Tru TV’s Laff Tracks, All Def Digital, and Revolt TV’s Funny AF. A native of Los Angeles, California, Terrence shines brightest when performing live regularly at notable comedy clubs on the West Coast, such as The Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, HaHa Comedy Club, Ice House Comedy Club, and Hollywood Improv. OnlyFans recently selected DeLane as the featured comedian on the new comedy series LMAOF alongside Jenny Zigrino, Chris Martin, Stephanie Tejada, and Orion Levine. Featuring Comedians: Gabriel Alexander: Gabriel Alexander demanded immediate recognition almost as soon as he pulled the mic from the stand. He stormed onto the Northern California scene with both quick wit and a style of comedy that’s true to who he is. He’s already performing at major clubs, including The World Famous Comedy Store, but he’s also a regular at his hometown club, Laughs Unlimited, in Sacramento, CA. He’s also hosting various open mics and cutting his teeth as a producer with the Broken House comedy show. Make sure to watch Gabriel as an up-and-coming comedian, as he is as funny as he is hungry. Glory Magaña: Glory Magaña was born to entertain! As the youngest of 15 there was never a dull moment or a night without an audience! Glory started her career in 2012 and first performed at The Purple Onion in San Francisco, CA, the same stage where Phyllis Diller, Woody Allen, and Richard Pryor paved their ways to fame. She made her way around the Bay Area performing at Cobb’s Comedy, San Francisco Punchline, Tommy Ts in Pleasanton, and the Sacramento Punchline. She then performed in Los Angeles at the Icehouse in Pasadena (finally headlining this year!), the Laugh Factory in Long Beach and Hollywood, and The Comedy Store. Glory has since performed across the U.S. and Mexico. You’ll be sure to have fun watching her animated presence on stage! Sasha Merci: Second-generation Dominican American comedian, actress, and digital creator Sasha Merci is a Bronx native now based in Los Angeles. Sasha can be seen starring in the feature film De Lo Mio (HBO), her very own series Like, Subscribe Demilo (FUSE), and in the popular web-series Group Therapy (COMPLEX). Sasha has amassed a social media following of over 180k and has collaborated with brands like Bumble, AT&T, Heineken, Old Spice and many more. Last year Sasha was selected as one of Freeform TV’s #YoungBlackAndFreeform inaugural honoree’s which celebrates diverse content creators and thought leaders, and this year, you can catch her starring in the feature film SHELTER opposite Lisa Vidal and Cam Gigandet. Jesus Sepulveda: Always known as the funny kid even at a young age, he performed in grammar school to get out his passion to make people laugh. Stand-up came into play at the tender age of 15 at a local comedy club. A few years later, Jesus decided to move back to LA in November of 2009 and has been in the comedy scene ever since. In June of 2017, he was featured in Chingo Bling’s “They Can’t Deport Us All” Special on Netflix. Jesus Sepulveda is one of the fastest-rising Latino comedians in the Los Angeles comedy scene. His material gives us his perspective on Latino culture and where it stands right now. He also speaks about his upbringing in his childhood stories, where his characters and energy paint a perfect picture of his past. Not only does he paint a better picture but he has gained a following who can relate to him and can walk away from his show feeling like they gained a friend. His new comedy special entitled “Mr. Tough Life” can be currently seen on HBO Max. Headliner of the Evening: Erik Rivera: Since bursting onto the NYC comedy scene, Erik Rivera’s name has become synonymous with comedy. His “boy next door” good looks and unique perspective make him one of today’s fastest rising young comedians. With quick wit, commanding stage presence, charisma and an infectious smile, Rivera has become a favorite act at comedy clubs, events and colleges throughout the country. A regular at NYC and LA comedy clubs such as The Comedy Cellar, Comic Strip Live, Gotham Comedy Club, The Laugh Factory and The Comedy & Magic Club, Erik’s star is quickly rising! Last year he was honored to make his Late Night debut on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, a recognition that has been a springboard to many comedy greats. Since that prestigious opportunity, Rivera has proven to be on the top of everyone’s list. In the fall of 2013, Eva Longoria and her production company, UnbeliEVAble Productions, developed and sold a half hour comedy sitcom loosely base on and starring Rivera. This year he was chosen as one of the Top 100 comedians to be invited to perform in the re-launch of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. The National Council of La Raza and NBC reached out and tapped Erik as a presenter and official spokesperson for the ALMA Awards and NCLR. NUVO TV also hand selected Erik as their official spokesperson for Hispanic Heritage Month, presenting a daily Factiño commercial series. Rivera is steadily becoming a familiar face on cable networks nationwide as he’s also appeared numerous times on AXS TV, MTV, Comedy Central, TV Guide and NuVO TV. With his diverse audience reach and unparalleled work ethic, Erik is one of the most requested comedians working today. In 2010, he had the privilege of being chosen by NBC to represent their network’s Stand-Up for Diversity College Tour. The tour took Rivera from coast to coast, bringing laughter to over fifty colleges and universities. The National Hispanic Media Coalition invited Erik to be their special guest performer at their annual Impact Awards Gala, which honors Latinos in Entertainment. He has also appeared at The Hollywood Latino Laugh Festival alongside Carlos Mencia, Gabriel Iglesias and Last Comic Standing winner Felipe Esparza to a packed house at The Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, winning the Diamonds in the Rough Award. In 2008, 2009, 2012 & this year Erik was honored to be the only comedian to perform for The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC – the only comedian to date to have been brought back a record number 4 times! In high demand, Rivera continues to tour comedy clubs and colleges nationwide. When not touring, Erik calls both New York City and Los Angeles home.
