Standing at 6'6" and making rooms full of people erupt with laughter on a regular basis; everything about him is Tall, Dark and Funny. Growing up, his first love was basketball. He was an accomplished athlete and played Division 1 NCAA Basketball, where his team made it to the NCAA Tournament his freshman year. Junior year he tore his ACL which ended his hoop dreams. For the first time in his life he wasn't able to play basketball, but it was also the first time in his life he stepped into the acting and comedy world. Shooting comedy skits in his dorm room peaked his creativity and passion for performing, which ultimately led him to enroll in the theatre program at CSU Long Beach. He finished his last two years of college at CSU Long Beach and appeared in such productions as Shakespeare's As You Like It and Sarah Ruhl's Late: A Cowboy Song, among others. Since finishing school, he has dedicated himself full-time to stand-up comedy and has performed at the World Famous Comedy Store, Flappers, and other venues around the Los Angeles area. Much of his material derives from his unique life experiences, especially growing up as a vegetarian since birth that has never eaten any meat, chicken, fish, or eggs. As an actor, Londale has appeared on Chelsea Lately and The Tonight Show as well as national commercials for Mini Cooper, State Farm, and Footlocker. He has also been training at the Upright Citizens Brigade since the end of 2012 and is not only honored to be a recipient of the UCB Diversity Scholarship, but is excited for you to see him every week at UCB on Harold Night with his team Rococo. You can also catch him performing at indie shows with his all black male improv team Phi Beta Negro. He is also a writer for the CBS Diversity Showcase 2015. Londale spent the summers of 2011 and 2012 doing volunteer work in Tanzania with the Karimu Foundation, working with the community of Bacho Village to help rebuild schools, develop theatre projects with the students, and more. His experiences in East Africa have been life-changing and he looks forward to the time when his comedy can bring laughter to people all over the world.
