Keith Michael Ashton's Bio
Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, Keith sharpened his wit living in the projects and
enduring the sting of his Trinidadian mom’s belt when his grades fell short. This
upbringing nurtured his uncanny ability to capture human behavior with his writing,
stand-up comedy and acting. While hanging out in Greenwich Village, attending New
York University, he started performing on stage.
Currently working on the West Coast, he is featured in the independent film, “Who Stole
the Electric Car” which screened at various film festivals across the U.S. and in Europe.
He performed a monologue piece for Lifestyle Magazine which aired on Trinity
Broadcasting Network. He also booked several commercials, one with award-winning
director Harold Einstein on a General Mills Fruit Roll Ups national commercial and
another with creative director Vanessa Marzaroli on an Angie's List commercial.
Infusing a love of acting with a passion for writing and performing stand-up comedy,
Keith is hilariously cerebral…an animated old-schooler. There is an urban legend that
says Franklyn Ajaye and Woody Allen were gene-spliced and the result was Keith. He
performs at Los Angeles clubs such as the Improv and Ice House and has made
television appearances on shows on CBS, BET and Comedy Central.
