“Paul Rodriguez is funny. Very, very funny. We’re thrilled to have him, as he is a great fit for Tropicana Las Vegas. I’m looking forward to having a good laugh nightly,” noted Lee Ann Groff-Daudet, Vice President of Entertainment, Tropicana Las Vegas.

When asked to describe what fans can expect from his new show, Rodriguez noted, “Expect the unexpected. Although I am a naturalized citizen (note to Arizona), my comedy is very illegal and should be deported – but everyone will want to come back for more.”

As an accomplished writer, director and producer for television, motion pictures and feature shows, Rodriguez has many hit projects to his credits including numerous HBO and Comedy Central Specials including his latest Comedy Central special and DVD “Comedy Rehab” and the comedy concert film “The Original Latin Kings of Comedy,” for which he both starred in and executive produced as well as the film “A Million to Juan,” which he also wrote and directed.

In addition to making millions of people laugh all over the world (in Spanish and English), Rodriguez was voted one of the most influential Hispanics in America and awarded the prestigious Ruben Salazar Award by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR).
