Chona E is the stage name of Joanna Estrada, a San Antonio comedian known for high-energy stand-up, outspoken Latina characters and comedy rooted in Mexican American family life. A South Side San Antonio native, she studied stage and film acting at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York and Los Angeles before beginning her stand-up career in 2019. She first gained wide attention with the 2018 music-video parody “I Lika My Phat” and later brought her cultural humor to the Latina Comedy Festival in Chicago. Her mix of social-media character work, unfiltered storytelling and jokes about entering her “Señora Era” has made her a distinctive voice in Texas comedy.
