Chinedu Unaka is one of comedy’s best kept secrets! Born and raised in south LA by Nigerian immigrant parents, Chinedu began his career in entertainment through stand-up while attending college (Tik Tok wasn’t a thing yet) at the University of California, Santa Barbara. After graduating, Chinedu moved back to LA to pursue his entertainment dreams at night while working as a special education teacher in inner-city schools by day (s/o to caffeine!). He was most recently seen on the Emmy award winning shows INSECURE and ABBOTT ELEMENTARY. In addition, he stars as Sly in the HOUSE PARTY movie reboot that can be streamed on HBO. Chinedu’s recent DON’T TELL COMEDY set garnered millions of views across social media. Chinedu was named a 2020 COMIC TO WATCH by TIMEOUT LA. Chinedu also released a newly taped comedy album titled MOSTLY KIDDING. The album debuted at #1 on iTunes and can be found on all platforms. Chinedu’s other credits include Netflix (Netflix is a Joke Festival, Netflix Is A Joke Radio), Showtime (It’s A Party), FOX (The Mindy Project), Spotify (Nosy Neighbors - award winning podcast), IFC Films (Shithouse), HBO (A Whole Me), etc. He’s featured and toured with many comedians including Marlon Wayans, Damon Wayans, Damon Wayans Jr. and Yvonne Orji.
