Lil Rel, a comedian/actor/writer, and native from the West side of Chicago, realized that he wanted to become a comedian at the tender age of eleven. He began his stand up career at the age of nineteen and began to make his mark as one of the most unique up and coming Comics in the industry.

In 2006, Lil Rel appeared on Bill Bellamy’s Who Got Jokes that seemed to begin a twenty-four month stretch where he appeared on HBO (Diddy’s Bad Boys of Comedy), NBC (Last Comic Standing), TVONE (Who Got Jokes & Baisden After Dark), BET (One Mic Stand), and SHOWTIME (Big Black Comedy Show). It was also during this time he got the great experience of performing in the NBC Diversity Showcase in Los Angeles and the Aspen Showcase in New York. These two opportunities helped Lil Rel continue to sharpen his comedic skills and broaden his comedic range.

Lil Rel launched his own company, The LIL REL Company in 2009 and is working on a deal for the creation of his own animated cartoon series. The project will be based on the many characters that Lil Rel has brought to life in his stand up performances. Lil Rel has continued to stay busy on projects and working as he launched an internet television talk show titled “Jive Turkey” and became the House emcee at Jokes & Notes Comedy Club located in Chicago.

“I want to extend my heartfelt “thank you” for all you did in helping us host Ms. April Ryan as our 2018 MLK, Jr. keynote speaker. Ms. Ryan was absolutely amazing last night!! She was captivating, insightful, and delivered a powerful message with words of hope, love, and a call to action to the audience. They were utterly enthralled by her presence and presentation.

I would like to also add that I thoroughly enjoyed the pleasure of meeting Ms. Ryan. She was so personable, pleasant, down-to-earth and very gracious and accommodating with the guests. She was patient with each question and stayed until every person had their book signed or picture taken. I would not hesitate to have her visit our campus again. I was so impressed and grateful for her contributions to our campus community in this role, but even more so for the work and accomplishments she is making in journalism, politics, and keeping integrity in the profession.

Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the wonderful and professional work of Ms. Kim Lowery in her role in ensuring a positive and successful program. She was thorough in providing the details of the travel itinerary and ensured that we had all the information necessary in preparation for Ms. Ryan’s visit. It was a pleasure working with her on this engagement.

Thank you again for the work you do and the rewarding collaborations we enjoy with your agency. I look forward to future interactions.”
