Diana Yanez is an actor, writer, comic, and filmmaker. A first-generation American known for her comedic performances and stories of growing up as the daughter of Cuban immigrants in Miami. Yanez created the hit stage show "Latina Christmas Special" (2015-2020, Los Angeles Times "Critic's Choice") which she co-wrote and stars in with Sandra Valls (Showtime's "Latin Divas of Comedy") and Maria Russell (TruTV's "Tacoma FD"). The show is a masterful telling of family antics around the holidays and has been consistently selling out in Los Angeles and New York City, Off-Broadway. Yanez is also known for her viral videos (over 15 million views on YouTube) with hits like "Spanish For Your Nanny," "Let Me Borrow That Top," and "My Puss" (co-written and performed with Margaret Cho). Diana's first one-woman show about her quirky life growing up in Miami, "Viva La Evolución," won the New York International Fringe Festival's Overall Excellence Award for Solo Show. Her forthcoming book, "Don't Step In It and Don't Ingest" about growing up around mental illness is due out in 2021. Her wife, Marjorie Duffield, is a playwright (Ice Island: The Wait for Shackleton) and lyricist (Netflix/Pearl Studio's "Over The Moon.")
