At just the young age of 21, Jayson Acevedo performed in six English-speaking stand-up comedy showcases in Paris, France as part of his affectionately dubbed "Latino in Paris" Comedy Tour. That same year in August, Acevedo received the opportunity of a lifetime by being invited to perform at the world's largest arts festival, The Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland.

Now in his late 20s, Acevedo has yet to clean his room. Acevedo continues to perform regularly throughout the city of Chicago at notable venues such as The World Famous Laugh Factory, Zanies, Second City, The Comedy Bar, The Revival, House of Blues, UP Comedy Club, his nephew's house, and more. Beyond Chicago, Acevedo has performed at The IceHouse (Pasadena), HaHa Comedy Club (LA), The Velveeta Room (Austin) & Harvey’s Comedy Club (Portland) to name just a few.

In addition, he has also opened & shared the stage with notable comics such as...

Tim Meadows (Saturday Night Live)

Chris Redd (Saturday Night Live)
Jeff Ross (Comedy Central Roasts, Bumping Mics)
Hari Kondabolu (NPR/Totally Biased w/ W. Kamau Bell)

Acevedo finally filmed his very first unique comedy special "Lonely Wit" in 2018 in front of an oversold hometown crowd & self-released the hour-long improvised musical stand-up comedy experience on his very own website, jaysonavocado dot com

Acevedo's comedy has proven to translate well around the world, having told jokes in 4 different countries (France, Scotland, Colombia, & Mexico). Acevedo was recently chosen to proudly represent the city of Chicago in Mexico City as part of the 2019 Year of Chicago Theatre by "Choose Chicago," the official destination marketing organization for the city in direct partnership with the legendary Second City. Today, Acevedo can be heard claiming he's better at being Adele than Adele | Follow @jaysonavocado on everything
