Milton “Lil Rel” Howery is a West Side Chicago native actor, comedian, writer and producer. Known for breakout roles in The Carmichael Show, as well as in the Oscar-winning horror film Get Out. Howery has become a comedic staple in Chicago and a rising star nationally. His hilarious storytelling has allowed him to become an increasingly iconic personality.
In early 2016 Netflix released Rel’s first stand-up special Kevin Hart Presents: Lil Rel: RELevent, to which he has followed with two acclaimed HBO comedy specials, Lil Rel Howery: Live in Crenshaw and I said it. Y’all thinking it. Howery has also maintained a strong film career, winning “Best Comedic Performance” at the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards for his role in Get Out, as well as landing roles in Free Guy, Space Jam: A New Legacy, and the Oscar-winning film Judas and the Black Messiah.
