performer bio
El Sanchez is a queer/trans/non-binary comedian and writer that has been performing all over the country (and once in Canada) since 2010. With a conversationally cynical, yet upbeat, personal and political storytelling style, El has been called "a grumpy nugget of delight," by writer/activist Lindy West (Shrill) and "a brilliant new voice everyone should know," by comedian Hari Kondabolu (Netflix, HBO, Conan). Grammy Award-winning singer/song-writer Kimya Dawson has cited Sanchez as her 'favorite underground Northwest comedian' while W. Kamau Bell, Emmy Award-winning comedian and host of CNN's United Shades of America, once said, "El Sanchez is the truth." El has appeared on NBC, NPR, the Nerdist Network and has been interviewed by Allure and Teen Vogue. El was a contributing writer to the Shout Your Abortion book project in 2018 and has been the host of the Seattle branch of the Moth StorySlam since 2015.
