Aida Rodriguez

Aida Rodriguez is a comedian, writer, actor, and author — a favorite of critics and fans alike. Esquire magazine declared of her, "This is Rodriguez's genius — using comedy to turn pain into progress, to give voice to the voiceless, and to laugh instead of cry." Rodriguez's comedy special "Fighting Words" is streaming on Max, and she was a standout on the Tiffany Haddish-produced hit Netflix series "They Ready." She is a key collaborator on HBO's "Entre Nos" franchise, which features the brightest up-and-coming Latine comedy talent. Aida was not only a breakout star of the series early in her career, but she also recently stepped behind the camera to direct and produce its current batch of specials. She is a guest writer for BuzzFeed and Oprah Daily as well as a regular commentator on "The Young Turks." She published a memoir, "Legitimate Kid," with HarperCollins in 2023.
