Lav Luv

A his energy, interactive speech. Your mouth will smile but so will your heart.

When very young, Lav Luv found sanctuary being alone -- behind a mic, that is. Starting out hosting high school talent shows, Luv has been inciting laughter-infused riots for years with his bright blend of humor. Upon returning from service in the U.S. Armed Forces, he dove right into a career in comedy and was almost instantly recognized as a fresh face in the world of funny.

Though he doesn't have his own sitcom on the WB, Lav's resume is quite impressive. Lav Luv added yet another accomplishment to his rising star, when he beat out over 200 fellow comedians to win season 3 of Bill Bellamy’s “Who Got Jokes” on TVOne. The following year Lav Luv filmed his critically acclaimed one man special, “Lav Luv, I’m Gonna Get In Trouble” in Los Angeles, CA. Lav Luv was the head writer for “Off The Chain”, on Bounce TV, 12 Episodes. He has performed on BET's "Comic View" on numerous occasions, as well as concerts for the Isley Brothers, the Four Tops, R. Kelly, The O’ Jays, KEM, the Temptations, and Ashanti to name a few. He has toured with such comedians as Chris Tucker, Bill Bellamy, and Jamie Foxx and has showcased for Cedric "The Entertainer," Bernie Mac and D.L. Hughley. He performs with the Blacktop Circus, an all-black improvisational comedy troupe

He is often compared stylistically to a mix between D.L. Hughley and Chris Rock, but his style is completely his own. His blend of humor is thoughtful enough to tackle the issues of racism, prejudice and political aspects of life that he confronts on a daily basis and still retains comedic value. His style is engaging, as he encourages full audience participation, even prompting audience members for improv material. With an energetic personality and a gift for all things funny, Lav Luv delivers a stand-up performance that combines elements of urban humor mixed with a debonair flair that is sure to alleviate the stresses of your day or work off some extra calories with sidesplitting laughter
