ABOUT ME

A man of few words, and lots of laughs…

Hello, friends!

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 have made multiple appearances on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon'.

On screen, I’ve 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, I’m excited to share that my debut children’s book, 'Papá's Magical Water Jug-Clock', received two Pura Belpré Honors for both the Author and Illustrator. The book is available in English and Spanish. My newest 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 FirstWeFeast, a web series where I dive into LA’s taco scene with amazing celebrity guests. Most recently, I served as the Executive Producer and Host of 'Roots of Comedy' on PBS, a docu-series that takes viewers on the road to meet up and coming comedians and explore how every joke is rooted in community.

I’d love to connect with you! Whether it’s at one of my comedy shows or  book events, check out my calendar for upcoming dates.

Abrazos,

Jesús Trejo :)
