Jeannie Laccay

Jeannie Laccay is a Filipino stand-up comedian associated with Comedy Manila, where she is regarded as the longest-performing woman in the group and has been called the "godmother" and "First Lady" of Comedy Manila in the Philippine press. She has said she was a fan of stand-up comedy since 2008 and started performing herself after she began dating fellow comedian GB Labrador in 2012, to whom she is now engaged. Outside comedy, Laccay founded the weaving brand Aruga Handwovens in 2018 and has worked to revive Isinay ikat weaving traditions tied to her family's hometown of Dupax del Sur in Nueva Vizcaya, a craft that had lapsed for decades after its last practicing weaver died in the 1970s. She has appeared on the podcast Bago Matulog with Red Ollero and continues to perform live stand-up sets around Metro Manila, including with the all-female comedy troupe Bitches in Stitches Manila.
