Pre-pandemic, Sandra had performed in various improv festivals around the country with comedy troupe Shades of Brown and comedic duo Butter.Sandra’s hobbies include drinking coffee with a sweet dessert over a nice chat with friends, eating nachos while watching Love is Blind, and pondering her love/hate relationship with bread.  Cast:Host: Stephanie ChiarelloComedians: Aaron Salinas & Sandra YbarraSpecial Guest: Rev.
