History
Spanish Aquí Presents (SAP) formed in 2018 and comprises four group members: Raiza Licea, Oscar Montoya, Tony Rodríguez, and Carlos Santos. The bilingual comedy group formed at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (UCB) LA and they are the organization's first and only all-Latinx mainstage improv comedy team. Licea created SAP out of frustration with microaggressions she experienced at UCB, including being teased for her use of Spanglish. The team was created as a space to showcase Latinx comedians created for Latinx audiences. The name is an homage to the "SAP" button on television remotes that activates Spanish language dubbing. The members represent various Latinx ethnic backgrounds; Cuban (Licea and Rodríguez), Puertorriqueño (Santos), and Afro-Colombian (Montoya).

Their first show was January 11, 2018. The team sold out the first show and several subsequent performances. In addition to improv, the shows reflect other elements of Latinx culture with the inclusion of a live DJ and a food truck. SAP hosts a monthly show at UCB.

Podcast
The group hosted a podcast of the same name on Earwolf from 2019–2021. The podcast discussions were held primarily in English with some Spanish, and include politics, sex, and working in the entertainment industry. Each episode usually featured a guest and a short improvised sketch at the end. The SAP podcast was recognized by Reader's Digest, PopSugar, Vulture, and ¡Hola!. Spanish Aquí Presents was nominated for the 2021 iHeartRadio Podcast Award for Best Spanish Language Podcast.
