Entertainer, LaVelle LaRue, is a Los Angeles area native and is practically a born
performer who is always looking for an audience. Fortunately, he doesn't have to go far.
LaVelle has been doing standup comedy since 2007. However, through various social
media platforms, he is finding new and creative ways to make people laugh right from
his living room. Coining the term Standup Comedy Vlogger, LaVelle is revolutionizing
the way standup comedians fit into a world filled with social media influencers. Just
watch one of his videos via LaVelleLaRue.com and you'll instantly feel as though you
have a front-row seat to one of his shows.
Along with Comedy, LaVelle has had success as an actor as well. Not only has he
booked and acted in various indie projects, but he has booked co-star roles in shows
such as Shameless and Southland. Being an Army Veteran, LaVelle has experienced
what most of us can only imagine. After serving his country, LaVelle struggled with
many health issues that resulted in him weighing in at 301 lbs. He decided that life was
too short not to laugh every day. He put in the work to take care of his body and mind,
losing a whopping 132 lbs in the process. LaVelle realized that life requires the same
work ethic he brings to the gym each day. Using all he has learned through comedy and
acting, Lavelle's main purpose in life is to bring laughter to the masses and to hopefully
inspire a few others along the way.
