Kevin Kataoka

You may have seen Kevin performing standup on Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend” or acting on “Cheap Seats” on ESPN Classic. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, but now living in Los Angeles, Kevin has also graced the stage at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and appeared in animated form on Comedy Central’s “Dr. Katz,” which spawned a nationally syndicated comic strip he helped write. In addition to performing stand-up across North America, Kevin has also written for Fox’s “Mad TV” and “Blind Date,” and ABC’s “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”
