Trivia
Frustrated by the lack of positive roles for Latino actors in
Hollywood, she began doing stand-up comedy in clubs throughout the Los
Angeles area. Her East L.A. "cholita" character, Ramona from Pomona, is
now a favorite with Latino audiences everywhere. Ortelli, as she is
known to her friends, has performed at The Improv, The Comedy Store,
The Ice House & The Laugh Factory, among many other comedy clubs. She
is also a member of 'The Hot & Spicy Mamitas'. Comprised of five of the
hottest Latina comediennes in the nation, the groundbreaking comedy
group recently released their self-titled comedy CD.
