Luis Victor Jimenez, or as society has dubbed him, and to the dismay of his Cuban Mother, as simply “Lu.” Luis was born and raised in Miami, Florida, where he was first introduced to the world of theater and improv comedy. After taking the advice of one of his mentors, Lu moved to New York City and joined Face-off Unlimited and help create and develop an insanely successful improv torture show called “BATSU!”. From 2004-2010 Lu was performing to sold-out crowds every Monday & Thursday night in New York City. He has traveled the country, performing and working with various well-respected improv troupes such as UCB, Groundlings, and his favorite, Bassprov. In 2010 Luis moved to Los Angeles, California, and recently has had his short film "Sacalo Con Take It Easy, USA!" accepted into the 2021 Los Angeles International Latino Film Festival. Last April, Luis organized a political movement surrounding the topic of UAPs that reached 1.3 million people on his growing channel "The Unidentified Celebrity Review." Luis is represented by BRS/Gage.
