Chinedu Unaka started comedy in college (UCSB), so it’s only right for him to return to the place that introduced him to debt and pay his respects. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Chinedu has established himself as a talented comedic presence performing regularly at the top comedy clubs, theatres and colleges in the world; Chinedu attributes his ability to engage any crowd to his experience as a former high school teacher, his diverse upbringing, and his being a people person. Chinedu’s overall goal is to become so famous that spellcheck will finally acknowledge the spelling of his name instead of trying to convince him he meant to spell "Chinese."
 
Fresh off his comedy special taping produced by Kevin Hart's Hart Beat Production in Las Vegas, Chinedu has been recognized as a top comic by Timeout LA and Stand Up for Diversity NBC, and he has made appearances on Abbott Elementary (Hulu), Insecure (HBO), House Party (HBO), The Mindy Project (Fox), Don’t Tell Comedy, Comedy Central, and more below.

Everything was great. His performance went over well and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! I was also appreciative of all the communication we had prior to the show, both from you and Chinedu himself. Thank you!
