Leopoldo Roberto García Peláez Benítez

Polo Polo (born Leopoldo Roberto García Peláez Benítez, 9 March 1944 - 23 January 2023) was a Mexican stand-up comedian. His first-person anecdotes often featured explicit sexual language, wordplay and double entendres aimed at adult audiences. He was born into a family of shoemakers and worked as a shoe-factory executive in Mexico City before beginning his comedy career.

Polo Polo became known for his comedy while working at the Keops Nightclub in the 1960s, and in the 1970s began performing at small clubs and bars. During the 1980s he appeared on several late-night television programmes in Mexico. After many consecutive years at the Keops nightclub, in 1986 he had the opportunity to perform at the largest venue in Mexico at the time, the Crown Hall at the Hotel Crowne Plaza, and recorded his first live album with the Musart record label, titled The Trip to Spain. Despite a lack of radio airplay due to its explicit content, the album sold over 100,000 copies.

On 3 and 4 December 1994 he performed two shows at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles with record-breaking attendance, and he also played at the Sahara Hotel & Casino, the Universal Amphitheatre and the Celebrity Theatre. In Mexico he performed at venues including the Premier, the Patio and the Teatro Blanquita. He participated in the 2004 program La Escuelita VIP, produced by fellow comedian Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo. Polo Polo died on 23 January 2023 at the age of 78.
