Being a comedian comes with many perks and challenges, one of which includes holding an audience spellbound and making them laugh out their sorrows without overcompensating on the jokes delivered or appearing offensive. However, time and time again, even world-renowned comedians have made the mistake of delivering bad or insensitive jokes, resulting in a drop in their stocks and ratings. However, Keith Nelson makes comedy look easy with his “cool dad” appearance and bringing a different flair to the genre; today, he is regarded as one of the most consistent comedians over a long period.
Keith Ross Nelson is an actor and comedian whose antecedents preceded him and has cemented his place as truly one of the greats in the comedy industry today, thanks to his one-of-kind style of comedy. Keith has been actively entertaining audiences for twenty-five years in all fifty states and virtually worldwide. From California to Georgia to Saudi Arabia to South Korea, he has traveled near and far. Keith has appeared in magazines and publications of international repute such as Entertainment Tonight and Hulu’s Comedy Time. In addition, he’s appeared in the independent hit movies Mobsters and Mormons, and The R.M. He’s been featured in New York Weekly, LA Wire, Entertainment Monthly, Miami Wire, the LA Times, Daily News, and many more.
Away from comedy, Keith is an accomplished athlete. He has won three National Championships in Masters High Jumping and finished second in the World Masters Championships in 1998. In addition, he held the record in his age group from 2000 to 2007. He is also a third-degree black belt in kung fu and is working on his fourth.
Keith’s most significant selling point is his looks, mainly as he has been described as looking younger than he is, yet able to alternate and make jokes that different demographics can relate to.
“My uniqueness is that I look younger than my age, yet I’m willing to make jokes about exactly that. Also, I am an authentic person, and my act is the same everywhere and every time,” he said.
Keith has lofty dreams of performing in some of the largest and most notable theaters and venues across the United States and the world at large and cementing himself as a respectable and the most in-demand comedian. He would also like to inspire other upcoming performers.
Keith Nelson is a product of his never-give-up attitude, and he has never for once shied away or denied that fact about himself and now that his perseverance has paid off. He is reaping the benefits, rather than relaxing; he is more committed than ever to staying ahead in the industry because he wants to show his fans, especially the ones who have followed him in his journey to where he is, that they can be better at something, or anything, but only by perseverance.
