Linzy Beltran (she/her) is a first-generation, Salvadoran-American actor, clown and writer from Houston, Texas. After surviving an ultra-conservative Pentecostal upbringing (think Footloose, but more Latinos), she attended the University of Texas at Austin where she received a dual degree in Journalism and Spanish. After taking an improv class, she discovered that performing and writing, and not anchoring the local news in Corpus Christi, were her true passions.
Linzy premiered her first solo character show “Linzy with a Z” at the Second City Comedy Festival (2019). After losing her day-job during the pandemic, she finally wrote that script that was living in her brain and later became one of 10 hand-picked writers for the Disney-NHMC Series Screenwriter Fellowship in 2021. Linzy relocated to Los Angeles where she made her Hollywood Fringe Festival debut in the lead role of Abril in the play, El Paso (2022). In 2024, Linzy joined the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) Betty Character team.
In her spare time, she works a full-time job and is a loving dog mother to two good girls, Rosie & Stanley.
