STEVE TREVINO’S COMEDY SPECIAL PREMIERES THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2012
There’s a new kind of Mexican in town, “Steve Trevino: Grandpa Joe’s Son”

Los Angeles, CA, September 18, 2012 — After 10 years headlining on the national comedy circuit, Steve Trevino makes his SHOWTIME® debut in October with his first one-hour comedy special, “Grandpa Joe’s Son.” Filmed at the California Theatre in San Bernardino, Calif., the special will air at 10 p.m. ET/PT Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012.

Jason T. Davis, a Pop Culture blogger with ireadculture.com, explains how Steve Trevino strays away from the Latino stereotypes inside his comedy routine, “Trevino, a stand-up comic from South Texas, veers away from predictable ethnic references to instead focus on blue-collar, observational humor about life as a member of the working class. Infused with an energy only a guy from Texas could generate, Trevino tells stories of growing up as a kid in a small town, his closeted gay uncle, his new engagement and his dog.”

It was important to Trevino that he accurately reflects who he is as a person in his stand-up routine. Trevino is proud to be Mexican, but more importantly, he’s proud to be a Texan and an American. “I didn't want it to be a bunch of jokes relying on ethnic punch lines and premises," says Trevino. "Instead, the show is a mix of personal stories and my perspective on life as I have known it until now. I want to give a voice to people like me.  My hope for this special is to show America that there is a new kind of Mexican in town and he's American---and damn proud of it.”

A testament to the time he’s spent developing material and building a fan base on the road, Trevino’s supporters showed up in full force to attend the taping. Friday’s rush-hour traffic and 100-degree heat didn’t prevent his fans from filling the 1,700 seat California Theatre. LOL Comedy Producer and Director Scott Montoya said, “Steve killed it and it’s always great to see someone get a well-deserved shot, but more importantly, to deliver on that shot.”

Steve Trevino has traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan to entertain the troops--- a cause he supports. Steve’s credits include The Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Comedy.TV, Latin Nation, Comedy Central, and Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen, to name a few.
