Winner of NBC's "Stand Up for Diversity" in 2011, Bell was recently voted one of the Funniest Comics in Texas. In the past few months, he has also appeared on CBS' Late Late Show and shot a pilot for Fox. Further proving his growing notoriety, he was invited to both the 2012 Charleston and Bridgetown Comedy Festivals, and was highlighted at the 2012 NACA Kick-off Showcase, along with slanging a few jokes during the NBC Universal Showcase.

Raised in Decatur, Ga., Bell attended Savannah State University, where he starred in countless Theater Productions and wrote, produced and hosted the school's first and only (local) Daily Show-style series, "Tonee's Tiger Show." Since college, he has moved about the country, spending most of his time in Dallas where his standup career first took off.

Comedically, Bell sets a new tone to sweating the small things in his life, and provides a vehicle for any audience member to take advantage of and enjoy the ride. Now residing in Los Angeles, he can be seen at The Laugh Factory, Comedy Store, Flappers in Burbank, or monthly at the Addison Improv (Texas) for "TB presents: What Women Want."
