A staple of the Chicago comedy scene before taking his talents nationwide, Kennedy has spent decades earning the admiration of audiences and fellow comics alike with a style that is both deeply thoughtful and laugh-out-loud funny. Kennedy’s career includes appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Comedy Central Presents, and his own Showtime comedy special. In 2002, he was awarded “Best Comedian” at the prestigious HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. Beyond stand-up, Kennedy has built an impressive career as an actor, writer, and producer. His television credits include Seinfeld, Martin, 227, and FX’s Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, while his film work includes How High and Talkin’ Dirty After Dark.
