Comedy Icon Paul Rodriguez Will Light Up the Stage for the Grand Opening
of the World-Famous Laugh Factory at the New Tropicana Las Vegas
The renowned Laugh Factory, which has been hailed by USA Today as “the #1 comedy club in the country,” is proud to announce its Grand Opening at the New Tropicana Las Vegas with special guest headliner Paul Rodriguez, May 23-24.
For four shows, Rodriguez will bring his wildly popular brand of comedy to the Laugh Factory Las Vegas stage. With over three decades of comedy under his belt, this irrefutable funnyman guarantees laughs, in more than one language.
Rodriguez has appeared in over 45 films and countless television series and comedy specials. His impressive filmography includes “Without Men,” “Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore,” “Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” “A Cinderella Story,” “Ali,” “Tortilla Soup,” “Blood Work,” “Rat Race” and “Chasing Papi.”
Rodriguez has also appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Last Call with Carson Daly,” “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List” and “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” He has lent his voice to the popular animated programs “King of the Hill” and “Dora the Explorer,” and currently hosts “Mis Videos Locos with Paul Rodriguez” on Tr3s: MTV, Música y Más.
An accomplished writer, director and producer, Rodriguez’s hit projects include the comedy concert film “The Original Latin Kings of Comedy,” which he executive produced and starred in along with Cheech Marin, George Lopez and Carlos Mencia, the feature film “A Million to Juan,” and six comedy specials for HBO. He also has the distinguished credit of performing the first one-hour stand-up comedy special, “Dime Con Quien Andas,” on Telemundo.
The crowd-pleasing Ron Pearson will join Rodriguez. Beware: This comedian, actor and world-record juggler has been known to come equipped with a unicycle and does not shy away from enlisting the help of audience members. Pearson started his career as a child street performer and has since appeared in multiple television shows including “Malcolm and Eddie,” “The Drew Carey Show” and “That 70’s Show.” He has been a guest on late-night shows such as “The Late Late Show” and “The Dennis Miller Show.”
