Cherla Lewis

Cherla was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and raised with her four brothers, where their father, Rev. A. Marshall (since retired) worked for American Airlines as an aircraft mechanic and the pastor of New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church. Cherla's mother, Deloris Marshall was a stay home mom, that is until she wanted a change in life; So, she decided to study for her real estate license and passed the test on her first try. Cherla attended Northeastern State University, where she received her B.A. degree in Mass Communication with emphasis in Journalism and Psychology. A self-described "class clown," Cherla always wanted to pursue a comedy career and every year around her birthday, Cherla would try to build up enough courage to perform Stand Up Comedy. So, she finally performed her first comedy routine at Penguins Comedy Club in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and she has not looked back since! Cherla has won several Comedy Contests, created her own comedy Shows, and has filmed several independent films. Cherla credits all her gifts and talents to God, from whom all blessings flow, and her parents, who taught her to love everybody!
