Roots of Comedy With Jesus Trejo

Matt Roush says...

Don’t make me laugh. On second thought … Jesus Trejo, an L.A. based Mexican American comedian, travels the country to find funny people whose diverse backgrounds have informed their stand-up comedy. In back-to-back half-hour episodes, he heads to Minneapolis to meet Yemeni comic Ali Sultan, whose perspective on his mental health struggles brings vulnerability to his brand of humor. Then it’s off to Texas where he follows comedian Vanessa Gonzalez to her Laredo hometown, where she reflects on her upbringing with her parents, first-generation Mexican Americans who work as border patrol agents.
