About Grace Fraga:
This ‘Margarita Mama’ is a whole lot of Latin laughs. Fueled by
hot sauce flashes the bi-lingual award winning actress,
comedienne, writer and producer has appeared on national
television on A&E, CBS, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, VH-1,
Court TV, Univision, Galavision and Telemundo.
Some of her guest star roles include “Gene Simmons Family
Jewels,” “Comedy Cage Match,” “FBI Files,” “Mystery ER,” “Killer
Outbreaks,” “The First Time” and “North Mission Road.” Spanish
language credits include “No Me Hallo,” “Accesso Maximo” and
“Amor o Mentira.”

Miami, San Francisco, Salt Lake, Chicago, New Orleans, Reno and
Las Vegas at top rated venues such as The Comedy Store, The
Improv, The Laugh Factory, The Ice House, The Comedy Zone and
Harrah’s.
She has also toured in the “Las Comadres of Comedy, the Funniest
Latinas in America” and” Women Who Kick Comedy Butt” troupes and
been a guest on National Lampoon and Playboy Radio, in addition
to hosting her own syndicated internet show “Laff It Off With
Grace.”
Recently, with Emmy Award winner Anne Beatts, she co-created,
wrote, produced and starred in webisodes of “Dr. Lupe’s Love
Picante” and currently her comedy DVD “Full of Grace” is
available on iTunes and Amazon.com.
Rumored to be distant relative of Eva Peron, Grace Fraga arrived
in Los Angeles via New Orleans from her home town of Buenos
Aires, Argentina. Since taking each city by storm, the blond
bombshell has accomplished a lot. One was her win of a Big Easy
Entertainment Award for Best Actress in a Comedy for her
supporting role in Dalt Wonk’s stage play “Rio Seco.” Another
was to develop a sitcom, “For the Love of Grace,” being mentored
by Ellen Sandler (an Emmy Award nominee for her work on
“Everybody Loves Raymond”) and coming soon is her one woman
show. The Latin American Princess’ international search for her
Knight in Shining Armor…..“Sleeping Booty: A Modern Fairy Tale.”
As a child growing up in South America, the ever inquisitive
over achiever of a civil engineer and concert pianist earned
three college degrees - a BA in Art History Education, an MA in
Art History with an emphasis in Theatre and Film Analysis and a
MBA in Finance, which of course led her to her career in the
entertainment field because…“There’s no business like show
business.”
Still close to her mother, many of Fraga’s routines are based
around her mother’s advice …“When I was nineteen I asked my
mother what she thought I’d be good at. She replied, you’re
warm, you’re expressive and you like being in mixed company, so
it’s obvious you should be a hooker.” “So now,” reflects Grace,
“I get them off the streets and they pay me for hooking ‘em with
my humor”… or …“When I started dating she told me that if a man
hits on you on a date, throw ice on his crotch. Most women carry
a purse on a date, I carry a cooler”…and “Am I Crazy? I moved
9,000 miles away from her and now she has a computer. I didn’t
buy a computer… I bought 9,000 miles of umbilical cord!”
Since founding Juan-ah-Laff Productions in 2000, Grace Fraga now
considers herself… “A truly assimilated American girl…with hair
by Clairol, boobs by Victoria’s Secret and bootie by
McDonald’s.” She also likes to describe herself as…“ Just a
Spanish Valley girl, with Neiman Marcus tastes, living on a
K-Mart budget!”
In addition to her one woman show Grace is currently promoting
her new reality based series written in association with her
paramour, actor and comic Hank Garrett of “Car 54 Where You?”
and “Three Days of the Condor” fame. The sitcom’s storylines
revolve around their mutual love, his jealousy and stubbornness,
her cultural roots and compromises and the constant reminder of
his former celebrity, forming the basis for the title …“I
Thought You Were Dead.” The duo also co-headline monthly shows
at the Downtown Comedy Club in Los Angeles and other clubs
around the country.
