Alonzo's memoir details her lifelong work to foster a comedic career and tells of situations that compelled her to devote more of her time advocating for political change.
Alonzo's two Netflix stand-up specials, Lower Classy (2017) and Middle Classy (2022), the former of which was taped at San Antonio's Empire Theatre, show her ability to wring laughs from her experiences growing up in a traditional Mexican American household and navigating poverty in South Texas.
Although Alonzo's frequent visits to the 210 typically revolve around her stand-up shows, her latest visit will have her taking the stage to discuss her book Music to My Years: A Mixtape-Memoir of Growing Up and Standing Up. The memoir details her lifelong work to foster a comedic career and tells of situations that compelled her to devote more of her time advocating for political change.
A moderated Q&A will follow the event.
$30-$75, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 20, H-E-B Performance Hall, Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, 100 Auditorium Circle, (210) 223-8624, tobincenter.org.
