El Cuartel de la Risa was a Puerto Rican comedy show broadcast on WSTE.

[1] The show revolved around what happened in a generic police station in the fictional town of Trujillo Bajo, Puerto Rico.

The Puerto Rican Vedette Lourdes Chacón had a recurring role as the reporter "Clarita" and appeared in several episodes.

El Cuartel de la Risa was written by Kate Garrity, and at a later date, Pucho Fernandez also contributed.

Garrity cast herself as "La Capitana" in charge of the Cuartel which she later noted was a big help given the level of laughter, fun and jokes that were part of taping the program.
