Jesús Trejo | Comedy, Caregiving & the Circle of Life

Care can feel like a private storm—until someone holds the door, sends a goofy gif, or says me too. We sat down with comedian Jesús Trejo at the Carbone Cancer Center’s Fall Cancer Conference to unpack what caregiving really looks like across a lifetime: advocating for an aging parent, showing up through late-stage needs, and learning patience all over again with a six-month-old at home. The thread that connects it all is simple and hard at once—ask for help, take tiny pockets of time, and let humor do its quiet work. Jesús shares how bringing caregiving stories to the stage turned isolation into connection. After shows, people would lean in with their own challenges, proving that honesty invites community. We explore why caregivers so often need the same two resources—time and laughter—and how to find both in practical ways: one-minute recharges, a quick walk, a supportive group chat, or a moment of gratitude that shifts the day’s center of gravity. The insights are grounded in personal experience and backed by research, making them as usable as they are human. We also talk about perspective—the way care at the start and end of life mirrors itself, calling for patience, gentleness, and presence. Jesús explains how art and caregiving feed each other: comedy sharpens empathy, and caregiving gives comedy its heart. If you’re stepping into a caregiver role, you’ll hear a clear, compassionate message: show yourself grace, do the best you can with what you have today, and let small acts lighten the load.
