Life

Lil Rel Howery was born in Chicago in 1979, where he grew up on the city's West Side. In Chicago, Howery first attended Providence St. Mel School, a secondary school, before moving to Crane High School. Attending Providence St. Mel School from fifth grade onwards was completely different for Howery than attending public schools in Chicago and a godsend for him. He was impressed by Providence St. Mel School because it gave you the feeling that dreams could come true: "That's what they teach there: Anything is possible if you work hard for it." At Crane High School, after all Howery had made the decision to do comedy. After graduating, he did comedy in clubs. Howery made his first appearance as a stand-up comedian at the Lion's Den club on the east side of Chicago. He slowly began to make a name for himself, and jobs followed as a host of fashion shows and major comedy shows. In 2007, Howery first worked as a screenwriter for an episode of The Bad Boys of Comedy .

In 2008, he made his debut as a film actor in the role of Country in the film drama I Used to Love Her . 2010 followed a role in the comedy film Get a Job , in which he played Terry. From 2014 to 2015 Howery was seen in 14 episodes of Friends of the People , for which he initially wrote the script and which he also produced. In the same years he appeared in various roles in several episodes of Lucas Bros Moving Co. From 2015 to 2016 he appeared in a total of 19 episodes of the Carmichael Show in the role of Bobby Carmichael.

In the 2017 film comedy Mad Families by Fred Wolf, which was released on the Internet, Howery starred in the role of Ron Ron. In the film Get Out by Jordan Peele , a director of the same age who had also started his career as a comedian, he played Rod Williams, the best friend of the protagonist Chris, in the same year. Together with Daniel Kaluuya , who had taken on this role, Howery was nominated as Best Duo at the MTV Movie & TV Awards 2017 and awarded in the Best Comedic Performance category.
