Jesús Trejo Biography

Jesús Trejo is a comedian, actor, writer, and children's book author recognized for his contributions to American comedy and literature. Trejo began performing stand-up in his early 20s, primarily at the Comedy Store, where he also worked as a door attendant and valet before advancing to paid performances. His first recurring acting role was on the TBS sitcom "Sullivan & Son," and he later appeared in the AARP documentary "Care to Laugh," which explores his experience as the primary caregiver to his parents while building his career in stand-up comedy. This personal narrative has become a central element of his comedic style.

Trejo participated in the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal as part of Jeff Ross's "Roast Master's Invitational" and was later featured as a New Face at the festival. He was also named one of Variety Magazine's Top 10 Comics to Watch. Trejo has released two stand-up specials, "Stay At Home Son" and "Practicing." "Stay At Home Son" premiered on Showtime, and "Practicing" is available on his YouTube channel.

Trejo's acting credits include roles on "Mr. Iglesias" and "This Fool," where he also contributed as a writer. He hosts and produces the web series "Tacos Con Todo" and the PBS series "Roots of Comedy." "The Roots of Comedy with Jesús Trejo" is a six-part series combining comedy, social commentary, and travel, following Trejo as he meets comedians across the United States to explore the stories behind their comedy. He has also appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Trejo is the author of children's books including "Mamá's Magnificent Dancing Plantitas" and "Papá's Magical Water Jug-Clock," which received two Pura Belpré Honors for both Author and Illustrator. These books, available in Spanish and English, draw on his experiences as a first-generation Mexican-American. Trejo regularly performs at the Comedy Store and continues to engage audiences nationwide with his humor and storytelling.
