About Me

Hello,

Welcome to my blogging area thing, My name is Lukas Seely Comedian and former Advertising Consultant. If those that don't know me here is me in a nutshell.

I grew up in a wonderful place of Billings,MT. I was the youngest of 6 kids and my family were immigrants from the country Laos (South East Asia). We came to America back in 1981 or something like that to get away from the Communist in our country. Out of the six kids I was the only one born on U.S soil and the only one with a normal name and not something like Vilavong or Khuammany.

Growing up was kind of tough for me, being the youngest and having all my siblings way older then me I had to play with myself alot, which explains how I learn to masturbate at a young age (don't judge) My family was poor growing up, my parents came to America with $5 U.S with no real college education and 5 kids ( I know I said 6 at first but you will find out why later) but we was poe- people. My parents could not afford toys for me so I had to use my imagination alot. I took simple household items and turned them into toys. I would take tv remotes and it would now be a spaceship or taking sticks and turning it into a light saber.
" Luke...I am your father!"
"really?....great will you buy me toys because my parents now are poor and won't buy me anything."

You get my point, no money=no toys= me using my imagination. All of this lead me into being a comedian. Why? Because when are young and your family kind of doesn't pay attention to you for the first part of your life......you tend to crave attention from any where......I love to lime light. It gives the attention I need and fills that void i missed growing up.

I've always been told I was a funny kid from teachers, classmates, friends, the hot dog stand guy....everyone except my family. After graduating high school I wanted to move to LA and become famous, follow the likes of Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, and Jim Carrey, all who I idealize and still do. However my parents convinced me to go to college first. So I did, I went to Rocky Mountain College in Montana and earned a football scholarship and got my Bachelors in Advertising and Marketing. During my time in college I still had a fire to become a famous comedian. I started taking acting classes and also tried my hand at stand-up comedy at a local bar. Given the circumstances of living in Billings,MT, there was no real stage time to practice, so my senior year in college I would travel 8 hrs to Denver,CO and do comedy at some of the comedy clubs there and some other local bars just to get stage time.

After graduating from college in 2004 I knew that it was time to move on and move out to a marketing where I could get some real stage time and better my craft.......so next stop.....Seattle,WA.

I chose Seattle because I had family out here and also the girl I was seeing at the time was from the area and now this gave her the chance to be closer to her mother who she adored highly. After a humble break up with Whitney and her departure back to Billings,MT to take a job; I had no real friends and not knowing anyone, I spent my time at comedy clubs, Giggles Comedy Club to be exact. During 2005 I was depress, sad, lonely, blah blah, and the only cure was being on that stage in the Lime light where nothing mattered but me, the mic, and the audience.

I have found my true passion, and that's comedy, in all forms, stand-up, videos, around groups of people, movies, everything and anything. Laughter is the sound I love the most, smile on faces is worth more to me then a 100 dollar bill.

So here I am, currently 27 yrs old, in this coffee shop, letting the world know my story, my reason, my passion and soon to be my crazy and messed up thoughts and actions.

So I hope you join me on this journey where ever it takes me or us, and I hope that one day i will impact someone's life, even if its just one ill be happy.

Sit back and enjoy and Welcome to life of Lukas Seely..............

  2. I love love love that you started a blog. I think you have such a great story to tell aside from your comedy. You are the American Dream- totally cheesey I know- but it's the truth.

    My husband and I went to Harrah's Comedy Club last weekend and Vegas. It was fabulous, and we both thought of you and said how you could soooo easily be there too. You're a funny MF Lukas.

    Many Blessings.
