Currently touring as Girl Dad. Cleaner side of the room. Long Beach when I can be, on the road when I can't. Pull up an empty seat.
★Girl Dad Tour · Now booking
Two books out now, both in English and Spanish. Picture books about family. The kind I wished I'd had growing up in Long Beach. Pick one up at your local bookstore, or grab one below.
El Barrilito Mágico de Papá
A 2024 Pura Belpré Honor recipient, twice over (Author and Illustrator), from the American Library Association — and a Kirkus Best Picture Book of 2023. A picture book about a long Saturday shift with Papá, and the old water jug that keeps the day's time.
Las Magníficas Plantitas Bailadoras de Mamá
"…the miniature scamp's hijinks and wry observations." (Kirkus Reviews). Named a Kirkus Most Anticipated of Fall 2024, a Parade Best New Release of the Month, and Children's Book of 2024 by Growing Book By Book.
My show on First We Feast. I drive around LA with celebrity guests, hit the best taquerias in the city, and have real conversations between bites. I host and executive produce. Three seasons in.
Two specials so far, plus some other stuff. "First Time Dad" and "Practicing?" are both free on my YouTube channel.
Places I've shown up.
A podcast about books. Probably also other things. New episodes when I have something worth saying about something I've read. Watch every episode on YouTube.

I'm Jesús Trejo, a stand-up comedian from Long Beach, CA. You might recognize me from my first comedy special, "Stay At Home Son" on Showtime, or my second special "Practicing?" which is available for free on my YouTube channel. I've also had the honor of performing stand-up on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" and made multiple appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon."
On screen, I played the recurring character Mr. Trujillo on Netflix's "Mr. Iglesias" and appeared as Efraín in Hulu's "This Fool," where I also contributed as a writer for the second season.
In the literary world, my debut children's book, "Papá's Magical Water Jug Clock," received two 2024 Pura Belpré Honors (Author and Illustrator). It's available in English and Spanish. My second book, "Mamá's Magnificent Dancing Plantitas," is out now (find it at your local bookstore or wherever you shop for books online).
When I'm not on stage, I host and executive produce "Tacos con Todo" on First We Feast, a web series where I dive into LA's taco scene with celebrity guests. Most recently, I served as Executive Producer and Host of "Roots of Comedy" on PBS, a docu-series about up-and-coming comedians and how every joke is rooted in community.
I'd love to connect. Whether it's at a comedy show or a book event, check the calendar for upcoming dates.
Abrazos, Jesús Trejo:)
