Cleto Rodriguez's Bio
Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Cleto Rodriguez is a nationally recognized stand-up comedian known for his high-energy, observational humor with a brilliant Latino twist. Since launching his comedy career in 1995, Cleto has performed alongside legends like George Lopez, Gabriel Iglesias, Wayne Brady, Daniel Tosh, and even opened for the iconic B.B. King. His clean, relatable comedy draws from everyday life—marriage, parenting, dieting—and resonates with audiences across the country.
Cleto’s deep San Antonio roots run through his family legacy: his grandfather, Cleto Rodriguez I, was one of Texas’s first Hispanic Congressional Medal of Honor recipients. That sense of pride and service carries into Cleto’s work offstage, where he actively supports wounded warriors, disadvantaged youth, and the homeless through charitable efforts like Humor for Heroes.
In addition to touring comedy clubs, colleges, and churches nationwide, Cleto is a beloved local TV personality, appearing daily on News 4 WOAI Today. His specials—Devil, Get the Heck Outta Here! on Amazon Prime and Cleto Is My Real Name! on DryBar Comedy—showcase his signature style and faith-driven approach to comedy.
