Comedian DoKnow Signs with UTA as Tour and Podcast Work Expands
Comedian and podcaster Daniel Lopez, known as DoKnow, has signed with UTA, one of the large talent agencies that find work for performers, Variety reported on 11 November 2026. He is managed by Martin Mantilla at LRM Management.
Lopez first became known through short online sketches. He moved into stand-up comedy in 2024. He is now headlining the "DoKnow & Da Hawmies Tour," with dates scheduled through the end of 2026.
He also co-hosts the podcast "Chisme With DoKnow" with Jakarta Slim. The two have signed a distribution deal with The Volume, the network run by Colin Cowherd. A distribution deal is an agreement that helps a show reach its audience through a larger company.
Lopez has also worked on screen. He co-starred with Jay Dee in the film "Clika." The movie opened in US cinemas in January, and it reached Netflix in March. He appeared in "Horchata With Oat Milk," a 2025 film directed by Christian Leyva. He also had a part in the 2023 reboot of "White Men Can't Jump."
Signing with an agency is usually the step that brings more offers to a performer. The agency takes a share of the pay from the jobs it arranges. For Lopez, the immediate public calendar is the tour, which runs until the end of the year, alongside the weekly podcast.
For listeners, the news is simple. The podcast stays in their feed, the live shows keep coming, and the next project will have an agent working on it.
