Angelica Vale is the “Latina Queen of Stage Comedy” and regarded as the Tina Fey and Carole Burnett of Spanish language entertainment. Vale is the most recognized Mexican comedic actress and a true triple threat on a live stage. She’s a critically acclaimed live-theatre performer with an extensive career in film, television, radio and music that spans more than four very active decades.

Her mother is a Hollywood Walk of Famer herself and the famously regarded “Sweetheart of Mexico” (Novia de Mexico) Angelica Maria. Vale is synonymous with live musical stage comedy and one of the most recognizable performers with over 500 live theatre productions and thousands of hours on stage.

Angelica solidified her worldwide fame as the lead actress on the wildly successful Televisa-Univision Spanish language version of the romantic comedy series, “Ugly Betty,” which set world-wide audience records. Today, she continues her passion for engaging audiences by hosting her own 5-hour morning radio show “La Vale Show” on the full-market FM station, CALI 93.9 in Los Angeles, California.

For this work she received the coveted “Gracie award” for outstanding achievement in radio.
Angelica is also the main host of HBO Max “Bake Off” Mexico returning for a second season. She’s also the head judge and character coach of Univision’s reality talent competition “Tu Cara Me Suena” returning for season 3 this spring. All these platforms give Angelica a live-stage to project her love for theatrical performance.
