Kevin Meaney began his entertainment career by appearing in dramatic and musical theater productions while attending college to learn the restaurant management business.

Upon graduation Kevin entered the food service industry, rapidly rising from busboy to waiter to finally managing several restaurants. He then made the logical career move for anyone with his background – he packed up his car, moved to San Francisco, and began stand-up comedy.

Quickly establishing himself as a major talent in the Bay area, he became a headliner in the more popular clubs. Never one to forget his roots, Kevin brought his food service expertise to his comedy, creating the COOKING WITH KEVIN SHOW, an immediate favorite of comedy audiences — and why not? As Kevin points out, “Food is fun.”

Asked to describe what he does, Kevin explains, “I talk about the restaurant industry … I love it, love the industry. I more or less talk about the absurd in everyday life. My act is an exaggerated character based on myself. One liners and stories. I usually end up with a big song.” As a San Francisco paper pointed out, his approach to comedy payed off as “the golden-throated Kevin Meaney landed the host spot at cable television’s MARIN 11.”

He also became a regular guest on radio and the annual SAN FRANCISCO COMEDY CELEBRATION, attended by 10 to 15 thousand people.

Success in San Francisco convinced Kevin it was time to go bi-coastal. He loaded up the car again and moved to Boston. Becoming a headliner almost immediately, Kevin was even given his own night at one of the most prominent clubs in town. It was here that Kevin began his newest style of comedy — the “Man in the Street Interview” – now one of his trademarks. As the Boston Globe described the act, “Kevin Meaney has taken portable video onto the street during his stand up routines. Using a wireless mike, he’s conducted man-in-the-street interviews and even hopped a subway while his image was beamed back to a screen inside the club.”

In addition to his highly lauded club appearances Kevin has toured the country playing colleges and opened for such national rock acts as Tower of Power. Never really knowing what to expect next from Kevin Meaney, only one thing can be said for sure.

Once you’ve seen him, you won’t forget him! As Kevin says, “That’s the beauty of it… Heidi Peidi.”
