Malena Pichot is an Argentine groundbreaking feminist comedian, screenwriter, radio show host and, reluctantly, an actress. Malena’s career started back in 2008, when she was one of the first ones to create comedy content and upload it on YouTube without expecting much from it. Besides being an accomplished stand up comedian, she went on to create and star in many TV series. She also has her own Netflix special called "Complex Stupidity". 

Malena and I met back in 2013, when we co-wrote and starred in the short comedy film "Take It Easy, Charlie", which was also the series finale of the webseries “America Loves Carlos”.
