The Gadiel Del Orbe Show

Two Dominican Women Are Changing NYC Comedy… Here’s How

Episode Summary

Sasha Merci and Glorelys join The Gadiel Del Orbe Show to talk about Morir Soñando — the bilingual Dominican comedy showcase that’s turning into a real movement. We get into how it started, why Dominican-American comedians needed their own lane, what it took to sell out major venues like United Palace, and how they’re building community and visibility for Caribbean talent — on stage and beyond.
