Stand up comedian Chris Estrada will be executive producing and starring in the new Hulu half-hour comedy pilot entitled Punk Ass Bitch. Also onboard as executives producers are SNL alum Fred Armisen and Jonathan Groff (Black-ish executive producer)
Estrada was born and raised in South Los Angeles and is a self-described “Ghetto Latino Punk Rocker.” In 2019 Comedy Central singled him out as the “Next Up Comedian,” and he has sure lived up to that title.
Estrada will write the series along with the three creators of Comedy Central’s Corporate, Jack Weisman, Matt Ingebretson, and Pat Bishop.
The series is inspired by Estrada’s own life growing as the L.A. hood, with Estrada playing Julio Lopez, a guy with a heart of gold who doesn’t always get the respect he deserves and wants.
Casting is currently underway on this ABC Signature production, which is the first project under Estrada’s overall deal with ABC. Estrada was seen recently in a half-hour comedy special Entre Nos for HBO Latino
Estrada is repped by UTA, Jordan Tilzer at El Centro, and Morris Yorn.
