TRIANA

Up and coming stand-up comic, writer, and television personality, Triana Gamaza, is proving that smart, sexy, and funny can fit together in one entertaining little package.

Born in Caracas, Venezuela, and raised in Santa Monica, California, Triana has spent most of her life in and around the entertainment business. However, working odd jobs for various television production and promotion companies was a difficult way to make ends meet, and like many young, attractive women in Hollywood, she began working as an exotic dancer.

Because of her unique charm and constant desire to be the center of attention, it wasn't long before Triana had convinced the club owners to turn Saturday nights into comedy night featuring the worlds first stripper/comic. Writhing her way around the main stage, wireless microphone in one hand, brass pole in the other, Triana would ... match wits with some of the worst hecklers, who would then become so smitten with her comely banter they would line up for lap dances after the show!

But, don't let her sweet flirtations fool you. With material that ranges from colorful, commercial commentary to raw, in-your-face bijouterie, Triana is quickly converting her nimble wit and unapologetic sexuality into an immodest bid for television stardom via the comedy stage. She's traded up to cabarets with more discriminating audiences, and (only slightly) more clothing. Her provocative short stories have been published in 3AM Magazine. She has performed at The Comedy Store and The Improv. She continues to gain national attention with coquettish turns on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and NBC's hit reality show, Last Comic Standing. And, she will be featured in upcoming photo layouts in FHM, Razor, and Femme Fatales magazines!
