Eddie Lobo
- Actor
- Producer
Edward Lobo began making people laugh not long after he learned to
talk, and he's been doing it ever since. Having come from a family of
artists (his mother, an actress; his father and grandfather, both
professional musicians), Ed spent his youth performing in shows at
Disneyland and in local musical theater, where he quickly realized
comedy would truly be his calling card. "When you are cast as the
gruff, grizzled Sgt. Krupke in "West Side Story" and afterward
everybody says you were the funniest thing in the show? You might as
well give in to it!" Stand-up comedy never crossed his mind, until
early 2001 when he went to an open mic night at Martini Blues in
Huntington Beach on a dare. He rocked the house and never looked back.
Since then, he's been taking the stage at comedy clubs all over
southern California, working alongside some of the heaviest hitters in
the business. In addition, he is a sought after host, often presiding
over local pageant competitions with the Miss America organization
(where he is also a Certified Judge). In 2004 he finally left his day
job, joined the Screen Actor's Guild and The American Federations of
Radio and Television Actors, and headed for Hollywood. Ed has had
featured roles on Chuck, Shark, Desperate Housewives, Henry's Crime,
and All About Steve. When asked what he enjoys the most he simply
states: "the opportunity to make someone laugh through stage or
screen."
