Marcella is a stand-up comedian, writer and actor who has been working for almost twenty years. Her comedy knows no bounds while she eagerly discusses any and every topic that tickles her. From dating short guys - because she has no other options at 6’2 - to being mistaken for a man, her Latinx identity, her take on race and gender, and wild stories and 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 comedian's abilities to handle all forms of comedy - from one liners to stories to crowdwork - the many years she’s put in absolutely shines through. Of the special, Latin Media wrote that Marcella “manages to ruffle feathers while delivering a routine that feels absolutely joyous.” Decider.com wrote that “she has earned this moment.”
In 2025, Marcella can be seen on the upcoming second season of "Poker Face" on Peacock, as well as returning to "After Midnight" on CBS where she made a great first impression last year, according to "Vulture." She relocated to Chicago where she runs her monthly show, "Comedy Is Dead!," on the second Thursdays of the month at the Lincoln Lodge. 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. She hopes it inspires more comedians to put more care in their craft and helps audiences appreciate stand-up. She is also currently working on her first solo show.

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 followup album, "Mercury in Reggaeton," is a collection of rejected material from her debut special and 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 loved by anyone who listens.
