El Mago Loco

El Mago Loco is a magician who only does what he knows: Latino magic tricks! But what happens when you show up (white, black, Asian-American, Brazilian) and the audience isn’t 100% Latino? What follows is only una noche to prove his worth (magically, of course) and the discovery that true happiness in mediocrity is better than someone else’s (you!) version of success. Oh and yeah, he’s going to do that trick where he cuts someone in half (could be you?).

Nominee: Best Clown & Alternative Comedy and World Premiere at Hollywood Fringe Festival 2025

Press Reviews:

"Absurdly funny and deeply profound…Beltran’s stage presence is absolutely magnetic…Do not miss your chance to experience Beltran’s magic in ‘El Mago Loco.’”- LA THEATRIX (Anthony Gutierrez)

“It’s an escape room of a show, without the panic and agoraphobia. Linzy Beltran as El Mago Loco holds the audience in the palm of her almost definitely sticky hand, and the show is all the more splendid because of it.”- NoHo Arts District (Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros)

About:

Linzy Beltran (she/her) is a first-generation, Salvadoran American actor, clown and writer from Houston, Texas. After taking one comedy class, she abandoned the clutches of the ultra-conservative Pentecostal religion for another church: Improv.

After losing her day-job during the pandemic, she finally wrote that long awaited script and became one of 10 hand-picked writers for the Disney-NHMC Series Screenwriter Fellowship. Linzy joined the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) Betty Character team. She debuted her solo clown show, “El Mago Loco” at the 2025 Hollywood Fringe Festival as an official scholarship recipient. Her show was nominated for Best World Premiere and Best Clown show at Hollywood Fringe. Linzy is currently a member of the UCB LA Maude sketch team, Rodeo Baby.
