Kevin was originally born in Seoul, Korea and in January of 1981 he was
apdopted and sent to America to live with a middle class Irish family in
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He is the son of James and Madalyn Shea,
parents of 5 children.... 2 white chicks,2 korean boys and 1 korean
girl. Both parents were middle class, James was a korean war vet and
decorated police officer and Madalyn was a factory worker. His parents
personality were spitten images of "Archie and Edith Bunker". It was if
"All in the Family" was combined with "A Different Strokes".
Being from a very middle class family, Kevin was the first to attend
college. After graduating from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania,
Kevin was curious to explore the rest of the country, so he moved to San
Francisco in 2000. There he would discover Stand-Up.
CAREER
After moving to San Francisco, Kevin started a career in the Internet
industry which lasted a whole year. In 2002 he was layed off and was
convinced by a friend to go to an open mic. Influenced by Eddie Murphy's
"RAW", Kevin decided to go to the open mic dressed in a purple leather
jump suit......not a good idea. His first set was not very good.
Not trying to become the typical Asian comic Kevin strayed away from
Korean accents based on their mothers'.....plus his mom is a honkey. He
concetrated on developing his own style which has said to be very laid
back and fresh. With his unique style and jokes, he caught the eyes of
hollywood and was invited to the prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival.
Kevin has numerous television appearances which include Comedy Central's
Premium Blend, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and most recently HBO's Down n Dirty.
He is currently living in Los Angeles.
