Melissa Villaseñor

Melissa Villaseñor, best known as the first Latina cast member of *Saturday Night Live* and a master of celebrity impressions, brings her stand-up comedy to the DC Improv for a weekend engagement. Her performances blend the sharp impressions and character work she honed on SNL—where she famously imitated Owen Wilson, Lady Gaga, and Dolly Parton—with original stand-up material. An accomplished voice actor with credits in *Toy Story 4*, *Wreck-It Ralph 2*, the animated film *Hoppers*, and numerous TV series, Villaseñor also hosts the Independent Spirit Awards, publishes journals, records music, and creates fine art. This marks her fourth headlining stint at the DC Improv; all previous runs sold out.
