The Idiot Box Presents Kenny Garcia

Growing up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan when it was still considered a tough place to live, Kenny Garcia learned early on how to use humor to navigate life. From making his first prank call at age seven—posing as his mom’s “important boyfriend” she didn’t have—to teaching his own daughter the value of laughter, Kenny has been entertaining those around him for as long as he can remember. A natural storyteller, he takes audiences on a fun, relatable ride through fatherhood, family life, and the everyday “unimportant things” we somehow find very important—always delivered with warmth and just enough exaggerated truth.

In October 2015, Kenny won a major contest at Gotham Comedy Club in New York City, beating out hundreds of comedians and earning a spot on the 2016 season of Gotham Comedy Live on AXS TV. He has also made multiple appearances on Laughs on Fox.

A mainstay of the New York City comedy scene since launching his career eight years ago, Kenny has performed at clubs and theaters across the United States, Canada, and London. He has opened for an impressive list of headliners, including Whitney Cummings, Drew Lynch, Theo Von, Dan Levy, George Wallace, Jon Rudnitsky, April Macie, Godfrey, Chris Porter, Joey Vega, Ralph Harris, Aries Spears, and Angelo Lozada, among others.

2015 proved to be a breakout year for Kenny. In addition to his Gotham Comedy Club win, he was a finalist at the Burbank Comedy Festival in Los Angeles and a finalist in NBC’s Stand Up for Diversity competition in Dallas.
