Keith’s comedy journey was shaped by none other than the legendary Norm MacDonald, who mentored Keith and took him on the road for 9 years.

Miller's opening acts. His performances have consistently earned him recognition, being named one of the Top 50 Funniest Comedians by the Ultimate Laff Down and competing in prestigious contests like the Los Angeles Funniest Person Contest and Arizona’s Funniest Person Contest.

​

Keith is also the host of the popular podcast Reza Rifts, now in its 11th  year. The podcast has built a loyal following, with Keith exploring comedy, entertainment, and life through candid conversations and his signature comedic insight. Guests include: Jennifer Tilly, Dermot Mulroney, Rosie O'Donnell, Cathy Moriarty, Michael Madsen, Jake Weber, among many many more. LA weekly called it the best new podcast on LA Talk Radio in 2015.

​

In 2024 Keith's first motion picture titled "House Of Karma" is scheduled to be released which stars Jake Busey and Neela Jolene. 

​

From a teenager learning to navigate life with Asperger’s to a seasoned performer captivating audiences across the country, Keith Reza’s story is one of perseverance, passion, and the belief that comedy has the power to connect us all. His mission remains simple: to make people laugh and prove that no matter the challenges, dreams can come true through the power of laughter.
