BYRON KENNEDY
BYRON KENNEDY
Encouraged to remove himself from a highly successful career in radio and the music business, Byron Kennedy’s comedy trajectory took him from open mic nights to featuring, Las Vegas and beyond. And the explanation for his fast start is exceedingly simple: “I fucking hate meetings.”
Born in Arizona, Kennedy was a parlor act from the beginning. “My dad gave my brother and I a Smothers Brothers record because he wanted us to memorize the ‘Mom Always Liked You Best’ routine, which we performed during a party at the Elks Lodge. I don’t even know what the hell the occasion was, but I do remember getting laughs.”
