This included selling out two theater shows during Netflix Is A Joke Fest 2024, as well as hosting the kick-off Introducing show.

Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California, René Vaca is a 28-year-old stand-up comedian, writer, and actor.

Vaca has been pursuing his dream of stand-up comedy, winning the 16th annual StandUp NBC competition! Since then, Vaca has also built a following with his stand-up comedy clips reaching millions of views across his social media channels, including over 650 thousand followers on Instagram and 350 thousand followers on TikTok.
