Sanz, best known as a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1998–2006, joins a lineup that includes Bob Odenkirk, Whitney Cummings, Michael Ian Black and Wanda Sykes.

The festival, which runs from March 10-17, will also feature an appearance by half-Mexican American comedian Al Madrigal, who was a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

“Over the last ten years, our goal has been to provide a space for promising comedic performers to collaborate with luminaries shaping the comedy world, and it’s been incredible to watch SXSW’s unique gathering of talent lead to successful projects and lasting relationships,” said Charlie Sotelo, Head of SXSW Comedy Festival. “We hope you’ll join us to celebrate some of comedy’s brightest minds and discover some new favorites.”
