In a show subtitled “Does Comedy in a Gay Bar?!,” Los Angeles-based trans stand-up Hernandez comes to the Ren — not Bonkerz or the Funnybone — to finish up your weekend.

The Margaret Cho- and Bob the Drag Queen-co-signed comedian is doing this tour DIY-style; she booked all the venues herself and will be lugging in gear and merch by her lonesome — and that includes her two Florida tour stops in Miami and Orlando.

Hernandez, aside from her day job in comedy, is also a committed ghost-hunter, both hosting the podcast “Ghosted” and starring in the sublimely titled YouTube series Haunted Doll.

Hernandez’s comedy deals with navigating the increasingly perilous position of being a trans woman in the United States with tremendous honesty and a finely honed comedic timing, but for her it comes down to fun: “I’m just a messy, silly bitch who loves to talk about sex and make fun of stuff,” she told Pink News earlier this year.

8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 10, Renaissance Theatre Co., $30-$40.
