M EET:Lil Rel
Milton "Lil Rel" Howery takes
you inside his world of
growing up on Chicago's
West Side when he hits the
stage. Introducing characters from his mother, father,
uncle and of course your
favorite
neighborhood
"hoodrat," his character
style comedy leaves audiences in stitches. He currently tours the country
leaving pieces of himself
and his life on every stage
and city he touches.
Lil Rel is perhaps best
known as a semi-finalist on
NBC's Last Comic Standing and from his show stopping performances on Comedy
Central's Russell Simmons Presents Stand-Up at The El Rey, Martin Lawrence 1st
Amendment on Starz, and HBO’s Diddy's Bad Boys of Comedy. He also recently
appeared as a round table guest on E’s Chelsea Lately and has performed at
some of the most prestigious comedy festivals in the world including the Just For
Laughs Festivals in both Montreal and Chicago, the South Africa Comedy Festival
and NBC’s Diversity Showcase, which he is returning to host this year. Lil Rel was
also cast in the reboot of the Fox series In Living Color spearheaded by the original
creator Keenen Ivory Wayans. His new CD, "I Know You Hear Me, But Are You Listening" is available on iTunes. With all of this already under his belt, it is no surprise
that Lil Rel was also named by Variety as one of 2012 Top 10 Comics to Watch. Additionally, he has also just taped his Comedy Central Half Hour which airs Spring
2013 and currently developing a sketch series for Comedy Central.
