Cristela Alonzo is taking her comedy on the road. Fresh from the success of Upper Classy, she will launch the Midlife Mixtape Tour next January.
Tour Dates and Locations
The tour opens Jan. 15 at Quezada’s Comedy Club in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico. It then visits Chicago, San Diego, Houston, Scottsdale, Spokane, and San Antonio. Finally, it wraps May 2 at the Westgate Resort in Las Vegas. Moreover, Alonzo will appear at the Moontower Comedy Festival in Austin on April 9–10. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time, and more details are at CristelaAlonzo.com.
Alonzo’s story gives the tour extra weight. A first‑generation Mexican‑American, she grew up in San Juan, Texas, and learned English from TV. In 2014 she made history by creating, producing, and starring in the ABC sitcom Cristela. Since then, she has expanded into film and streaming. For example, she voices Cruz Ramirez in Pixar’s Cars 3, and she appears in Hulu’s This Fool. In addition, she published a memoir in 2019 titled Music to My Years: A Mixtape Memoir of Growing Up and Standing Up.
Netflix Success and Critical Praise
Her recent Netflix special Upper Classy debuted in late September and reached the streamer’s top 10. Consequently, the special has renewed interest in her live shows. Furthermore, critics have praised her craft. Billboard’s Joe Levy wrote, “To say that Alonzo is in the tradition of observational comics who mine their life experience for comedy is to underestimate both her mastery of that tradition, as well as its impact on her.” Therefore, audiences can expect sharp, personal material on this tour.
If you enjoy character‑driven stand‑up, this tour is worth watching. Tickets will move quickly, so check local sale times. Also, visit CristelaAlonzo.com for venue details and updates.
In short, Cristela Alonzo’s Midlife Mixtape Tour promises laughter and heart. With a strong Netflix showing and a trail of career milestones, she arrives on stage with momentum. Don’t miss a chance to see her live.
