Chris De La Cruz is a Dominican-American comedian, storyteller, and former high school teacher. He won the Yes, And Laughter Lab with Getting Schooled and was a series regular in Sherlock Homies, an unaired HBO Max pilot (their loss)—but his students only cared that he once handed a bunny to Kevin Hart on The Tonight Show. An alum of UCB, Magnet, iO, PIT, and Second City, Chris is a regular host for The Moth, the co-creator and host of Pilot Season, and performs on Harold Night with his chaotic team Hard Launch—but no audience compares to half-asleep teens pretending they did the reading.
