about
Kevin is a proud Aboriginal man from the Ngarrindjeri Nation of the lower River Murray, Lakes and Coorong region in South Australia. He's built an impressive career with a long list of Australian TV credits.
What makes Kevin special is his unique ability to be clever, likeable, silly and measured all at once. His high-energy performances blend thoughtful standup drawn from his own experiences with physical comedy that's completely ridiculous in the best way. He has this rare gift of warmly inviting both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal audiences to share his journey, his culture, and his life through comedy.
Kevin is a regular on the mainstream corporate, club and festival circuits. You'll often catch him as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow. He's earned his place as a genuine star of the Indigenous performing arts scene, and it shows in every performance.
His engaging style creates a real connection with audiences. Every show feels like a shared experience rather than just a performance. Kevin doesn't just tell jokes, he takes you along for the ride.
