Debi Gutierrez should be easy to describe. She’s an All-American Latina mom with sharp wit. Simple right? NOT QUITE! Debi is a former English teacher, a rising stand-up star and television show host who also happens to have a pretty typical family life in Los Angeles. When she’s not making people laugh across the country or on set, she’s home raising her kids and being a suburban super-mom.During Debi’s 19-year career, she’s gone from high-school teacher to international performer and is a regular at premiere comedy clubs in Los Angeles and around the country. Debi has established national recognition with her television appearances on PBS, GSN, Style, Lifetime, Showtime, as the Ebay Girl and much more!
Recently, Debi completed five seasons as the host of the daily parenting show, A Place Of Our Own, at KCET. On set, she comfortably navigates through topics and discussions in a natural yet structured way that allows her guests to comfortably be real and share their views and experience. The show and its sister series, Los Ninos En Su Casa, quickly snapped up three prestigious awards that include an Emmy, a National Peabody Award and The Parents’ Choice Award.
More recently, Debi completed a season as the host of the Gameshow Network program “Hidden Agenda”. Debi, whose comedy career has thrived on the communication between couples, serves as host of the show and as the couples’ cheerleader.
In her comedy, Debi’s mission is to improve relationships “one laugh at a time”. She’s a whirlwind of energy on stage as she blazes through common issues that every couple experiences but with a unique twist – she doesn’t alienate men!
Once dubbed “The Mommycomic”, Debi’s comedy act switched gears when the kids started to leave for college. She had an epiphany sitting across from her husband at dinner one night. “Who are you?” she thought as she realized she had sided with the kids all those years and was now stuck with a man she no longer knew.
She began a quest to rebuild the intimacy and bond that had originally forged their union and learned volumes of insight along the way. Then, she turned that insight into a candid and hilarious 45-minute show about strong, sexy marriages and relationships.
Debi is a keen observer of life & relationships and sees every moment as a time to gather material for her comedy act, keynote speeches, interviews and panel discussions.
So, whether you catch her performing comedy, hosting or guest starring on your favorite television show, Debi Gutierrez proves to be one entertainer that will not fit into any mold anytime soon.
