Selene Luna is a talented comedian and advocate for the little people community, known for her unique perspective and empowering humor. Growing up in Los Angeles, Selene faced limited acting opportunities due to her height, often cast in stereotypical roles as magical creatures or monsters. Frustrated by these constraints, she turned to stand-up comedy, inspired by her friend and mentor, Margaret Cho, who encouraged her to embrace her voice and share her story.

Her comedic journey began at the Melrose Improv, where a chance encounter with Bud Friedman led her to perform regularly. Despite initial setbacks and a lengthy hiatus, Selene rediscovered her passion for comedy and found her comedic voice over seven years, learning to embrace failure as a stepping stone to success.

Now based in Palm Springs, Selene has contributed to the growing comedy scene, creating a safe space for queer comedy while highlighting the challenges faced by disabled performers. She actively advocates for accessibility in comedy clubs, addressing issues like the lack of ramps and height-related barriers that hinder performers. With a focus on authentic representation in media, Selene aims to break down stereotypes and foster inclusivity, using her platform to inspire others and promote understanding within the entertainment industry. As she transitions into executive producing a TV show and a feature film, Selene remains committed to amplifying the voices of those who feel like outsiders, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to be seen and heard.
