He started cutting his teeth in Dallas, Texas, working as a door guy at the Improv and earning
himself a spot to open the iconic 2001 Three Amigos Comedy Tour. He quickly earned his stripes
and an audience on the comedy club circuit, and he began headlining on his own by the age of
25. He delivered side-splitting performances on The Late Late Show and Comics Unleashed, and
produced and wrote for international GRAMMY® Award-winning superstar Pitbull’s La Esquina.
His first Showtime special, Grandpa Joe’s Son, staked out a spot in the Nielsen Top 20. He
funded, produced, and shot his 2014 runaway NETFLIX hit Relatable. To promote the special, he
uploaded a clip titled “When Your Wife Comes Home From Shopping.” It exploded, generating 56
million views on Facebook alone and paving the way for heavily shared clips such as “When You
Ask Your Wife If She Wants McDonald’s” (21 million views) and “When Going to Vegas With Your
Wife Goes Wrong” (4 million views). Co-produced by Nacelle, the follow-up special, Steve Trevino
’Til Death, arrived in 2018. Steve maintained his momentum by broadening his social media
presence through fans redoing bits of his comedy specials and posting them to TikTok. In less
than two years, that grassroots effort helped him build a worldwide fanbase on the platform from
the ground up, amassing 4.8 million likes and over 50 million views on the platform, while also
changing up his entire social media game.
In 2020, he and his wife, Renae, unveiled a joint weekly podcast entitled “Steve Treviño and
Captain Evil,” that has generated over 1.5 million views/streams and is now in Season 3. He also
filmed his fourth self-produced comedy special, My Life in Quarantine, which was picked up by
Amazon Prime. The once-in-a-lifetime pandemic special was shot in front of a masked, socially
distant crowd and focused on the ups and downs of getting through quarantine.
He regularly raises money for Helicopters for Heroes, an organization benefiting veterans, for
whom he helped raise over $1.5 million in the past two years.
Steve's self produced fifth special filmed in Waco, Texas, entitled I Speak Wife, independently
released on Friday, October 21, for free exclusively to his global audience on YouTube.
