Tanya Perez

Tanya Perez is an award‑winning actor, writer, filmmaker, and unapologetic clown whose work moves boldly between comedy, social inquiry, and irreverent spectacle. A New York–born, South‑raised Latina creator, she has appeared on Evil (Paramount+), Orange Is the New Black, and Jessica Jones (Netflix). Her stage career spans Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Seattle Rep, Laguna Playhouse, and international touring throughout Italy. Her breakout solo show Honor & Fidelity premiered to a sold‑out run at Cherry Lane Theatre, and her NSFW comedy Welcome to Clowntown debuted Off‑Broadway at The Tank before heading to the 2026 Orlando Fringe Festival. As a filmmaker, her short Peep Show was a Women in Comedy HBO Insider finalist, and her film Veronica earned multiple national awards. A member of AEA, SAG‑AFTRA, the Latinx Playwrights Circle, and the Latinx Theatre Commons, Perez continues creating boundary‑pushing work across stage, screen, and the delightfully chaotic world of clown.
