Keith Ellis
As a passionate visionary, and observationalist, Keith Ellis, has managed to turn many foreseen negatives into positives with his witty ways of looking at what life has to offer, he touches upon subjects with a magic that is truly undeniable interesting and hilarious.
The youngest of two children Keith entertained his mother & father doing impressions of everyone he watched on television. His impersonations were astounding. He could transform into Jimmy Stewart, Bill Cosby, Richard Nixon and then turn around and do John Wayne and Maxwell Smart (Agent 86) along with a host of others. Keiths' genius revealed itself publicly in elementary school where he dazzled the classmates who would pick on him with his ability to transform effortlessly into characters to make them laugh with just a unusual remarks, or a unexpected expression on his face with out a word said.
A simple bet with that friend led him to the stage at a comedy club, and Keith found himself in an open-microphone competition without a script. The result? Keith placed second out of approximately 16 competitors that night. “The owner asked me back, so I did.” He felt like a winner that night, although the friend never paid the $100 bet. From that day forth Keith has continued honing his comedic and acting skills, appearing in movies, print ads, commercials and working comedy clubs and casino's across the country.
