Fargo has an up-and-coming, entrepreneurial spirit to the community that you’ll notice right when you arrive. The metro area spans three cities (Fargo, Moorhead, and West Fargo) and two states separated by the Red River of the North.

Discover canoe parades in the fall, gorgeous wineries along the prairie, and vintage markets on Downtown streets. The rooftop patio views of the sunsets cannot be beaten, and the inspired food and crafted drinks are a perfect match. Immerse yourself in the historical Stave church and Hjemkomst Viking ship, the downtown murals, and step back in time at Bonanzaville, the pioneer village. Experience north. North of Normal.

MARCELLA ARGUELLO  
Marcella is an actor, writer and stand up comedian of twenty years. She will discuss any and every topic that tickles her but you can often hear her joke about her Latinx identity, her takes on race & gender, and wild stories & situations she’s gotten herself in and out of. Marcella’s debut half hour comedy special Bitch, Grow Up. was released in 2023 on HBO MAX. It’s a half hour that fully represents the comedians ability to handle all forms of comedy - from one liners to stories to crowd work - the many years of working the road shines through. Of the special, Latin Media writes that Marcella “manages to ruffle feathers while delivering a routine that feels absolutely joyous.” Decider.com writes, “she has earned this moment.”  
In 2025, Marcella can be seen as the new guidance counselor, Ms. Alomar, on Abbott Elementary on ABC. She was crowned the champion of After Midnight on CBS, where she also made a great first impression in 2024, according to Vulture. She can also be seen on the second season of Poker Face on Peacock. She relocated to Chicago where she runs her show, Comedy Is Dead! at The Den Theatre on the first Thursday of the month. The show is a result of her podcast of the same name, which tackles her experience with the industry and why she feels stand up is currently in a strange place. The second season welcomes a new cohost, Chloe Mikala and is currently streaming on YouTube. She is also currently working on her first solo show, coming to a black box theatre near you in 2026.  
She is most proud of her formerly monthly show, Women Crush Wednesdays, which always had a fresh and diverse line up, including national headliners as well as the brightest up and comers. Marcella mercilessly hosted the best curated show in all of Los Angeles while providing numerous opportunities to many comedians because of it; occasionally she takes the show on the road: Women Crush Wednesdays has popped up in Toronto, Canada, Chicago and has been featured at SF Sketchfest, as well as The Ford in Los Angeles. Her debut album, The Woke Bully - which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Comedy Charts and was named One Of The Best Comedy Albums of 2019 by NPR program Bullseye - is a combination of Marcella’s unique perspective & honesty and captures what it’s like to experience her live. Her follow up album, Mercury in Reggaeton, is a collection of rejected material from her debut special and is a perfect depiction of her ability to go with the flow of a live show. Marcella also recorded Motivational Monday Meditations with Marcella Marguello, a comedic meditation album that is beloved by anyone who listens.  
In 2023, she was a featured player on Fuse TV’s We Need To Talk About America, where first generation comedians dissected American-centric topics and viral videos. Marcella was also the host of The Cache on Tubi in 2021, a hilarious clip show that infuses Marcella’s unique perspective on viral videos. In 2020, COVID-19 halted the entertainment industry but Marcella managed to guest star in Sarah Cooper’s Netflix Special Everything’s Fine, was seen as a panelist on David Spade’s Lights Out on Comedy Central, killed her over-the-top dance numbers on The Funny Dance Show on E! and had a covid compliant interview on FuseTV’s Like, Share, Dímelo. Her stand up can be seen on the second season of 2 Dope Queens on HBO as well as Night Train with Wyatt Cenac on STARZ; previously she has made a guest appearance on Comedy Central's Corporate and on episodes of FuseTV's Trivial Takedown. Recently MSN.com listed Marcella as number 10 in their list of "Top female comedians working in film and television today." In the Fall of 2017, Vulture.com presented their list of “Comedians You Should and Will Know” and Marcella was the top industry pick which gaind her a feature in the November issue of New York Magazine. Marcella was deemed an “LA Comedian to Watch in 2017” by Time Out Magazine while maintaining her reign as a fan favorite and six-time winner on Comedy Central’s @midnight. She wrote for the renewed Netflix series “Bill Nye Saves The World” and was a writer on the first season of the James Corden-produced show, Drop The Mic on TBS. Additionally, Marcella won her appearance on TruTv’s Comedy Knock Out, was featured on Viceland’s Flophouse, and in 2015 on NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly; her stand up has been highlighted on rapper Tyler, The Creator’s mobile app and on Fox’s The Real.  
Her controversial takes on Twitter (@marcellacomedy) have featured the comedian on CNN, Glamor Magazine, Fox, TIME.com, HuffingtonPost.com and various other entertainment websites. She currently hates social media but you can still find her actively running her mouth on various sites such as Instagram, Threads and Blue Sky.  
Marcella is a regular opener for Felipe Esparza, Hasan Minhaj, Ralph Barbosa, Nicole Byer, Melissa Villaseñor and Nico Santos. She has previously opened for Marcello Hernandez, Ramy Youseff, Michelle Buteau, Hannibal Buress, David Alan Grier, Cheech Marin, Norm MacDonald, J.B. Smoove, Aida Rodriguez, Phoebe Robinson, Al Madrigal, Ron Funches, Godfrey, Pablo Francisco, Joey Coco Diaz, Melanie Comarcho and many more. She has also had the privilege of sharing the stage with Bill Burr, Mark Curry, Janeane Garofalo, Fred Armisen, Quinta Brunson, Bowen Yang, Jerry Seinfeld, Paul Mooney and Robin Williams.  
Her love of music has also allowed her to rock a stage with many artists she admires such as Black Thought, Jean Grae, Freddie Gibbs, MURS, Del The Funky Homosapien, Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, Too $hort and E40. As well as having worked with Method Man, Usher, Quelle Chris, Fat Tony, and Tyler, The Creator.  
Additionally, she has proudly graced the television stage with Sheryl Lee Ralph, Marisa Tomei, Natasha Lyonne, Lisa Ann Walter, Affion Crocket, Emily Althaus, Thomas Lennon, Gillian Jacobs and Weird Al Yankovic, just to name a few.  
She has worked at The Improv Comedy Clubs all over the country and is a regular at The Punch Line Comedy Clubs in Northern California. She has headlined the Latina Comedy Festival, the Detroit Women of Comedy Festival and the B4UDie Festival in Alaska. She has also performed at The New York Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Chris Hardwick’s ID10T Festival, Riot LA Comedy Festival, Lucille Ball Comedy Fest, overseas for American troops and comedian Sean Keane referred to her as the “finest export from Modesto since George Lucas.”
