About Cristela Alonzo: Upper Classy
According to Netflix’s official logline, Alonzo returns “in the pursuit of happiness.” The special finds her reflecting on everyday experiences with her signature mix of warmth and sharp humor:
- Discovering she’s doing better than her high school bully
- Visiting a spa and realizing there can be too much self-care
- Taking her family on their first vacation ever
In each scenario, she uses comedy to teach her family and herself how to enjoy life, whether they like it or not.

Filmed at The Majestic Theater
Upper Classy was filmed at The Majestic Theater in Dallas, Texas, giving the special a sense of intimacy and connection that suits Alonzo’s storytelling style. Her ability to move between personal anecdotes and cultural observations finds a natural home on this stage.
Behind the Scenes
The special reunites Alonzo with longtime collaborators:
- Cristela Alonzo – Executive Producer
- Page Hurwitz – Executive Producer & Director
- Wanda Sykes – Executive Producer
- Push It Productions – Production company
This is the same creative team that worked on Middle Classy, ensuring continuity in tone while giving Alonzo room to expand her material.
What to Expect from Upper Classy
Each of Alonzo’s specials has captured a different stage of her life. From Lower Classy to Middle Classy and now Upper Classy, she has built a comedic trilogy that doubles as a personal chronicle of identity, class, and resilience.
Her third special shifts the focus to happiness itself: what it looks like, how to embrace it, and how to laugh at the missteps along the way. That evolution makes Upper Classy both a continuation and a fresh chapter in her Netflix legacy.
