Marga Gomez is a stand-up comedian, becoming one of the first openly gay comedians in America. 

Her stand-up career started in San Francisco where she was a regular at the popular Valencia Rose Cabaret, a club that nurtured gay performers. She quickly joined forces with five other Latino comedians to create Culture Clash, a nationally acclaimed comedy troupe.

In February of 2003, her work, "Marga Gomez's Intimate Details," premiered Off Broadway and was so successful she was called back for a two-week encore in June. In 1988 Marga was voted "Entertainer of the Year" by the San Francisco Council on Entertainment. She has appeared on HBO, Showtime and Comedy Central and performed in concert halls, colleges, and clubs all over the country. 

Internationally she's appeared at the Montreal Comedy Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, London ICA and Amsterdam's Triple X Festival.  She was the recipient of Theatre LA's Ovation Award for her collaboration with Culture Clash.  She has also won the Bay Area Theater Critics Circle Outstanding Achievement Award.
