Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Cleto Rodriguez is living his lifelong dream of becoming one of the elite stand-up comedians in the country.

A 12-year veteran behind the mic, Cleto performs nationwide in churches, comedy clubs, corporations, and colleges. He has been chosen as the comedian for the 2008 Promise Keepers events in 7 U.S. cities, and he is also the star of his own TV show, "Late Night Live with Cleto Rodriguez".

Cleto connects with audiences by relating everyday life experiences. Anything and everything is fair game, from marriage mishaps to the challenges of dieting. His comedy is high-energy, observational, and hilarious... with a brilliant Latino twist.

He has strong San Antonio roots going back to his grandfather, San Antonio native Cleto Rodriguez I, who was Texas’s first Congressional Medal of Honor winner. Cleto also contributes his time and talents to the community by helping raise money for disadvantaged youth and the homeless.
