Performer Bio:
Unlike many of the top comics in showbiz, LONDON LEE boasted a slightly different repertoire. London’s “schtick” was designer clothes, private schools and a garment center tycoon for a father. London Lee’s father was credited with having invented the double-knit process. This success along with other triumphant ventures in real estate and the stock market left the family, very, very rich and London, very, very confused. London decided to strike off on his own. He told audiences that rich people have more problems then poor people. In time, London would acquire a reputation as the rich kid comedian. His youthful looks, warm stage presence led him to a successful career. His credits over 200 hundred TV appearances: 32 Ed Sullivan shows, 82 Merv Griffin Shows, 4 ABC specials and a recording album that sold 300,000 copies entitled THE RICH KID. London also has done several major motion pictures for Paramount: The Gambler with James Cann and Broadway Danny Rose with Woody Allen. He has appeared in hotels and theatres across the country: Atlantic City, Reno, Nevada, Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, Puerto Rico, New York, Chicago, Boston, Miami, Detroit, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Baltimore. He has shared the stage with Diana Ross, Ella Fitzgerald, Lou Rawls, Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, Dionne Warwick, Della Reese, The Righteous Brothers, Connie Stevens, Marlene Dietrich, Liza Minnelli, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Duke Ellington, The Gatlin Brothers, Crystal Gayle and Ronnie Milsap.
