Stand-up at the Fort Lauderdale Improv
Looking for a comedian who can command a room, roast with precision and turn any crowd into chaos-level laughter? Hire Queen Benedetto. She's been on Kill Tony, opened for Russell Peters and Kam Patterson, and toured the U.S. with her hit show Don't Call Immigration, on stages like The Comedy Store, Hollywood Improv, Flappers, The Comedy Mothership and the Loony Bin.
Bilingual (English & Spanish), with savage elegance, fearless crowd work and her insolent-waitress character. Clean enough for your grandma, dirty enough for your bachelorette: she can be a nun or a menace. You pick the rating, she brings the chaos. Either way, it's cheaper than therapy.

Three ways to bring the Queen to your event 👑
1. Stand-up comedy set (15 to 60 minutes)
From a quick 15-minute set to a full hour of my show Don't Call Immigration. Real stories about being an immigrant, a Latina in Miami and a woman who survived everything and decided to laugh about it. Fearless crowd work included: your guests become part of the show.
2. Host / MC
I keep your event moving: I introduce speakers, performers or awards and fill every gap with laughs, so nobody stares at their phone.
3. The Insolent Waitress (2 hours)
A surprise character for private parties. She walks in like she works there, serves absolutely no one, takes selfies with your guests, steals sips of their drinks and roasts the food, the outfits and everyone's look. Nobody knows what's going on until the end, when the host reveals her in front of everyone as a hired actress. Perfect for birthdays, bachelorettes and anyone who deserves to be roasted.
You choose the flavor
English, Spanish or Spanglish. Clean enough for your grandma or spicy enough for your bachelorette: we talk before the event and I tailor the show to your crowd.
What I need
A microphone and a speaker (for stand-up and hosting). That's it. I arrive early, I'm easy to work with and I bring the energy.
Lorena "Queen" Benedetto is a Venezuelan stand-up comedian, actress and writer based in Miami, and Miami's self-proclaimed Queen of Comedy 👑
A lawyer by training, a journalism graduate from Concordia University in Montreal and a fashion designer, she ended up standing in front of a microphone telling strangers what she should have told her therapist.
She has been on Kill Tony and has opened for Russell Peters and Kam Patterson. She produces and headlines her own show, Don't Call Immigration, a full hour of her material about life as an immigrant who survived Venezuela, Canada and Argentina before landing in Miami.
She has performed at the Loony Bin and at some of the most important Improv clubs in the United States, as well as Comedy Chateau, The Creek and the Cave, The Secret Group, Uptown Comedy Corner in Atlanta and Flappers.
She performs in English and Spanish, so she's a great fit for corporate events, private parties, Latin events, fundraisers and shows where the crowd is mixed.
She is also the author of La risa es más barata que la terapia (Laughter Is Cheaper Than Therapy), fifteen chapters of real life told with sharp humor and zero filters. Her mom is still processing it.
She also brings her character The Insolent Waitress to private parties and events: a "waitress" who crashes the party like she belongs there, serves absolutely no one, takes selfies with the guests, asks for their cigarettes, sips their drinks and roasts the food, the outfits and everyone's look. Guests never forget it.
