SULI McCULLOUGH began his stand-up comedy career while still a student at UCLA. Jerry Seinfeld performed at a special show on campus and Suli was his opening act. Seinfeld’s managers were in the audience and signed Suli the next day!
Suli McCullough’s 1st televised stand-up appearance was on the MTV 1/2 Hour Comedy Hour hosted by Ken Ober. Other notable stand-up television appearances include; The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Suli’s comedy has also been showcased at both the Aspen and Montreal and Comedy Festivals. Suli’s first acting role was on a short-lived sitcom called "What a Dummy" starring Stephen Dorff. He’s gone on to appear on many popular television shows such as: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, In Living Color, Seinfeld, Married with Children, Angel, My Wife and Kids, and the Larry Sanders Show. After guest starring on the Jamie Foxx Show during the third season, he was offered the part of Dwayne "Mouse" Abercrombie. Over the course of 25 episodes "Mouse" would grow become Jamie’s right hand man. "The Jamie Foxx Show" is currently in syndication.
Suli has also appeared in feature films..."What’s Love Got To Do With It", "Terminal Velocity" with Charlie Sheen, "Run Ronnie Run" but he is most recognized for his role as "Crazy Legs", the dude in the wheelchair in the Wayans Bros spoof "Don’t be a Menace to South Central while Drinking your Juice in the Hood.

My Stand-Up is conversational, a little quirky and very much driven by my point of view. I want my comedy to feel like you're listening to some classic "A Tribe Called Quest" while enjoying a fun-sized Snicker bar you got "trick or treating"! The comedy game these days seems to be more about how hard you sell yourself; instead of creating something that's actually worth selling! I strive to offer something SPECIAL. When I first started doing comedy I just wanted to be FUNNY. Over time, I decided to be FUNNY MY WAY. There's a big difference! I'm not interested in doing the same tired stuff everybody else is doing! Some have described my comedy as being "SMART". Maybe it is? I think it just comes out that way! I don't go into it thinking, "Today I'm going to write a really clever joke! I want to make you laugh first...and if I can get you to THINK on top of that...then it's fun and poppin! Above all, I stay true to "My Thing". If you like how I get down...Enjoy the Show...if not, I can't help you if you ain't ready for the GOOD SHIT!
