Hailing from East Oakland, legendary comedian Luenell continues to blaze trails for women in comedy, selling out shows nationwide. In addition to her hit Netflix special, she recently made history as the only Black female comedian to secure a residency in Las Vegas. Luenell also fulfilled a lifelong dream by headlining at the iconic Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York.
Oakland music legend and community pillar Terry T., aka Mr. Community, shared, “Luenell supported us back in the Tony! Toni! Toné! days. We’ve stayed close, and I’m proud of her as someone from Oakland who overcame the odds and succeeded.”
Luenell’s residency runs Sunday and Monday nights at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club in Las Vegas.
