    Helium Presents: Malik B

    Malik Bazille is an accomplished comedian, actor, and boxer, born on December 23, 1990, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he is the only son of four siblings. In 2001, he and his family relocated to Los Angeles, California. While attending Culver City High School, Malik discovered a passion for acting, earning recognition as the best dramatic actor in his class. Malik’s newfound love for acting did not deter him from his first love: boxing; in fact, he boasts an impressive amateur record of 84 wins and 14 losses. This athletic background played a pivotal role in his entry into film. Malik was discovered by fellow actor Michael B. Jordan in a boxing gym, which led to an audition that captured the attention of director Ryan Coogler for the 2015 film "Creed." In addition to his role in "Creed," Malik took on a supporting role in the 2017 film "Burning Sands." Not one to rest on his laurels, he ventured into stand-up comedy that same year and began creating humorous skits in 2022. This new creative outlet has propelled his career as an entertainer to exciting new heights. His talent earned him recognition as the number 9 funniest person on the Internet by Complex. Following this acclaim, he was invited to film his own comedy special produced by Kevin Hart, set to air in 2025. Malik has amassed millions of followers and viewers across social media platforms with his hilarious and viral sketches as multiple "toxic" but relatable characters. He was a featured comedian for OnlyFans LMAOF comedy series, Netflix Radio Presents, and All Jokes Aside. He recently released his debut comedy special with Comedy Dynamics, Who's Ya Homegirl, streaming on Amazon. A regular performer at the Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory, and Hollywood Improv, Malik has also performed across the country opening for Jeff Garlin, David Spade, Morgan Jay, Joy Torrey, & Brendan Schaub. He has appeared on numerous podcasts including The Bootleg Kev Podcast, 2 Girls 1 Blunt, Giggle Boys, and The Gary Owen Podcast.
