KENNY WEBER
MAIN ROOM
KENNY WEBER
I was born in Killeen, Texas in August of 1986 where I was adopted at birth by a white family. When I was 8 years old we moved to California, finally settling in the city of Lakewood. As an adult I’ve set roots in Huntington Beach, Ca—yup, that place from the news during the beginning of the pandemic.
I learned at a young age that my favorite thing to do was make people laugh. Even as a kid, I was extremely talkative at school, which my teachers never fully appreciated. As a teenager, I'd say ANYTHING to make my friends (or really anyone) laugh. This persisted, even as I tried many different jobs as a young adult. I was an electrician for 4 years, worked for an online aquarium supplier for 3 years, was a licensed personal banker for 2 years, and worked in the cannabis industry for 2 years. It wasn't until I turned thirty that I finally became a stand up tried stand up comedy. Before I became a stand-up comedian, I found the first passion I ever had in my life that was more than just a hobby to me: Jiu-Jitsu. By training Jiu-Jitsu full time, I was able to learn true discipline, and what it’s like to improve at something incrementally over time. In hind sight, this was the last bit of maturity I needed before making stand up comedy my full time job. Four months after I started comedy, a club called The Rec Room opened in my city of Huntington Beach. I went to the third show at the club, and met the person who opened it. I had a meeting with him the next day where I volunteered to be an intern in order to learn every aspect of stand up comedy. This snowballed over the next six months to me eventually running the club. From June of 2018 - March of 2020, I hosted 75% of the shows at the club. I'm extremely grateful that I got the opportunity to perform nightly in front of a paying audience so early in my career.
