Usage Note

Humorista (common gender: el/la humorista) can refer to a stand-up comedian, a cartoonist, or a writer of humorous content — it is broader than comediante, which is more specifically a stage or screen comic actor. The word ends in -ista, so the same form is used for masculine and feminine.

Examples

"La humorista arrancó carcajadas con su monólogo."

Natural Translation

The comedian drew laughs with her monologue.
