About
Comedian, writer, and film critic known formally as Rallo, got his start while attending the illustrious Howard University. The summer of his junior year, Rallo was dared by a classmate to perform stand-up comedy at an annual summer barbecue. Rallo accepted the challenge, and subsequently was bitten by the comedy bug. In the fall of that year, word travelled fast and Rallo was asked to perform at the Howard University’s Homecoming Comedy Show. The rest is history.
Rallo’s wit and conversational delivery makes for an unforgettable experience that will leave your abdomen sore from laughter. Rallo’s casual approach to romantic relationships, race, and politics makes these often polarizing subjects a bit more palatable across broad audiences.
Rallo has made appearances on New York's Funniest and has performed at notable comedy clubs such as Carolines on Broadway, The DC Improv, and The World Famous Comedy Store. The sky is the limit for this young comedic dynamo.
