Mi Casa Es Tu Casa!

A One-Woman Show by Gwen La Roka

Produced in association with Mikey O

Mi Casa Es Tu Casa; a saying often spoken by Latinos as we welcome others into our homes and now the perfect title to Comedian Gwen La Roka’s new one-woman show. Join Gwen as she takes you on a hilarious ride into life in her “casa”, a home filled with chaos, cumbias and old school remedies.

It doesn’t matter where you’re from, Mi Casa Es Tu Casa.

Gwen’s honest comedic approach, meshed with her physical humor, has crowds from all ages and backgrounds laughing at life together. Gwen has worked with some of today’s funniest comedians like Gina Yashere, Felipe Esparza, Aida Rodriguez, and Finesse Mitchell, as well as the legendary Paul Rodriguez and George Wallace. She has also featured and headlined at comedy clubs throughout the country, including Zanies, The Laugh Factory, and The Improv. 

After having some fun as a voiceover actor for an animated Viva Films role in “Around the World in 80 Days”, Gwen went on to be a winner in the ’21 NY Latino Film Festival Latino Stand Up Comedy Competition. She is now the first Latina from Chicago to make her comedy special debut on HBO Max.

Now, Gwen is welcoming us back into her living room once again with the return of her hit one-woman show, Mi Casa Es Tu Casa. Come on in; you’re all invited!
