Part comedy, part social commentary, part travelogue, the series follows host Mexican-American comedian Jesus Trejo as he embarks on telling the “stories behind the laughs,” revealing how the most memorable comedy traces back to the roots of a community. Along his journey, Trejo visits Denver, Portland, Minneapolis, Austin, Los Angeles and Chinle, Arizona, where he meets with local rising comedians who explore the mosaic of our nation through the lens of stand-up comedy.
