Comedian Wil Sylvince is presently one of the best performing comedians in the world. He was born and raised in Brooklyn who honed his act under the influence of top U.S comedy clubs. His unique perspective on social and political issues with a West Indian Haitian twist makes him unique in his performance. Wil Sylvince has been hand-picked many times by heavyweight comedians like D.L. Hughley, Damon Wayans, Wayans Brothers and many others on their U.S tours. His versatile, clean and edgy performance and part hobo and part hoodlum appearance makes him a top booked college comedian with high demand. In addition to his comedy work, he has an excellent comedy writing skill. He has contributed to Wyclef's The Carnival, Fugees' album 'The Score' and Chapelle Show on Comedy Central-- are only few to name.

During this time last year, he upstaged Wayan brothers Marlon and Shawn, on their opening act on U.S tour. With his Richard Pryor-style physical presence and raucous and racy humor he got twice as many laughs in fifteen minutes that both the Wayans brothers received in total ninety minutes. His unique physique combined with his confident, relaxed stage presence and description of his father's methods of disciplining him and insistence that he could be anything whether a lawyer, doctor or an engineer was a real hit. He was basically an electro-mechanical engineer in his real life. He built the servant robot in Rocky IV before getting into comedy.
