Itanza Saraz is a Los Angeles-born and raised actress, improviser, and singer/songwriter who—no big deal—shares a birthday with Beyoncé 😉

She performs regularly with the Upright Citizens Brigade Harold team Hard Launch, and co-produces and performs in Friday Block Party, a monthly BIPOC comedy mashup show that’s everything your office happy hour wishes it could be.

She’s trained at Upright Citizens Brigade (LA), Stella Adler (NYC), and Pearlman Acting Academy (LA), and has toured her original music across the U.S. and internationally—including countless intimate Sofar Sounds shows.

Itanza brings grounded honesty, emotional depth, and just a touch of the unhinged to every performance. She’s currently seeking theatrical representation—and snacks… always snacks.
