Steve Treviño On This Weekend’s Gigs In New Jersey, The Growth Of His Podcast With His Wife Renae, Touring, Twisted Sister & More

One of the country’s fastest-rising comics, Steve Treviño has been viewed online over 175 million times as of late 2020. In turn, it ought to come as no surprise that he has been selling out shows coast-to-coast, amassing nearly 1 million total social media followers, and headlining specials for Amazon, NETFLIX and Showtime. The Mexican-American comic billed as “America’s Favorite Husband” — in the everyman style of Ray Romano and Kevin James — was regularly on the road pre-COVID-19, performing over 250 shows each year. Treviño is now ready to take to the highway again, performing 2 shows at Suneagles Golf Club in Eatontown, New Jersey this weekend on Saturday, July 31, 2021.

Touring aside, Steve Treviño released a new comedy special in late 2020, My Life In Quarantine. That special — which benefitted veteran-related causes through its proceeds — was shot on September 12, 2020, outdoors, in front of a live, masked and socially-distanced crowd at world-class production facility Studios at Fischer, in Canyon Lake, Texas, following strict COVID-19 protocols. With that special, Treviño took on the brutal reality of realizing he is nonessential. Meanwhile, Treviño’s podcast, as launched last year while in quarantine with his wife Renae — whom he lovingly refers to as “Captain Evil” — has well over 1 million views/streams and pumps out a new episode every week.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve Treviño again on July 29, 2021 about returning to the road, podcasting, future career plans, overcoming anxiety, giving back and Twisted Sister guitarist Eddie Ojeda. More on Treviño is at www.stevetrevino.com and www.facebook.com/StTrevino.
