The Toronto-based content creator is a comedian-actor whose snappy well-conceptualized TikToks, where he parodies reality TV and dramatizes the most mundane moments, has made him TikTok famous.
His work ethic, talent and comedic timing adds to his success, but no doubt his educational background has been an asset. Thinking that was genius, Martinez-Reid did just that, creating a TV show called “Reid it and Weep,” that he posted on YouTube and promoted on his Facebook.His classmates loved it and that encouraged him to audition for the theatre program at Toronto Metropolitan University as well as applying to the university’s four-year Radio and Television Arts program. After getting accepted into both programs, he ended up going with the latter option.
In March 2020, he leaned into pandemic anxieties and created a TikTok where he goes over the top after his friend Eden Graham coughs, which went viral in March 2020 and to date it has been viewed 14.5 million times. At first, he said, though he was getting a steady stream of followers and likes on Twitter and TikTok, he joked that the fans could be bots, because he wasn’t getting any real life feedback. But now, when people approach him, he appreciates it so much because it’s a reminder that the whole thing is real It’s humbling and it’s taught him a lot.
Then, back in Toronto, he’s hosting an annual Pride party at his condo in Toronto’s fashion district called, Bobo’s Wig Disco, where everyone who comes has to wear a wig.
