Comedian/Actor Arsenio Hall says; “Aida has something I never had when starting my stand up career. She has tremendous self-confidence! That combined with being funny should be lethal.”  Her comedy is a colorful splash in the bland world of affairs, becoming the first and only Latina to ever appear on BET’s “Comic View: One Mic Stand”.  Currently wowing audiences on the L.A. Comedy scene with her regular appearances at The Improv and the Laugh Factory this Puerto Rican Latina performs for the troops on USO/MWR tours worldwide.  This two faced comedic actress performer has the ability to deliver the edgiest content with a shocking charisma that most don’t expect, and can turn around and hand you the most mainstream and family friendly concepts that even your seven year old can appreciate.  Aida recently hosted the Miss California Latina Pageant, first time in its 20 plus year history for a comedian to host. Look for Aida on season 2 of Latino 101 on SiTV.

Punchline TV visited Moca’s lounge at 2210 Fredrick Douglass Blvd. Harlem, NY. Very nice decor for a place to eat and drink. Management didn’t respect comics- mics were shut off during sets. Management loudly argued with host in front of the venue.   Customers talked during sets including when the headliner took the stage.  There is no stage, leaving people to walk across the comic when trying to find a seat or go to the bathroom. Advice: Stress to costumers that this is a comedy night and to keep talking to minimal.  PunchLine TV gives Mocas Comedy Monday 2 & 1/2 mic stands.
