COMEDIAN PAUL RODRIGUEZ TO PERFORM AT CHUMASH CASINO RESORT
SANTA YNEZ, CA – March 30, 2022 – Paul Rodriguez, the longtime Hollywood film and television star, brings his stand-up comedy talents to the Samala Showroom at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 22 at the Chumash Casino Resort. Tickets for the show are $39, $44, $49, $59 and $69.
Known for his comedic observations on Latin American culture, family and everyday life, Rodriguez broke into the stand-up circuit in the early 1980s. It was while working as a doorman at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles that his talents were recognized, and he got his big break.
In 1984, a television producer was so impressed by Rodriguez’s stand-up comedy skills that he wrote and developed the sitcom, “A.k.a. Pablo,” specifically for Rodriguez. The show aired on ABC, and other TV roles soon followed, including as host of “The Newlywed Game.”
Rodriguez went on to make a splash on the big screen and has appeared in dozens of feature films. In 1987, he starred alongside Cheech Marin in 1987’s “Born in East L.A.” In 1994, Rodriguez co-wrote, directed and starred in the film “A Million to Juan.” He has also lent his voice talents to several film and television projects, including “Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” “Dora the Explorer” and “King of the Hill.”
For Rodriguez, though, it has always been about his roots as a stand-up comic. In 2002, he executive produced and starred in the comedy showcase “The Original Latin Kings of Comedy.” Over the years, he has released several cable television stand-up specials, including “Paul Rodriguez: Behind Bars,” “Crossing White Lines” and “Paul Rodriguez: Live in San Quentin.”
Regarded as one the country’s best-known Latino comics, in 2004, Comedy Central ranked Rodriguez at No. 74 on its list of the 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of all Time. Rodriguez is also a part-owner of the Laugh Factory in Hollywood.
Don’t miss an opportunity to see this renowned stand-up comedian perform in one of the most popular entertainment venues in Santa Barbara County.
Located on Highway 246 in Santa Ynez, California, the Chumash Casino Resort is an age 21-and-older venue. Tickets for all events are available at The CLUB at Chumash or online at www.chumashcasino.com.
