Kevin Meaney has been one of the country's most popular standup comedians for more than 25 years. Tom Shales of the Washington Post said, 'Picture the precocious love child of Jonathan Winters and Ethel Merman and you have some idea of Kevin Meaney's act.'
Making people laugh has always been a top priority for Kevin. His first HBO special in 1986 catapulted him to the forefront of the comedy scene. In 1987, Kevin made his debut appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and was invited by Johnny to join the guest panel. Since his first appearance, Kevin has returned to the show a dozen times. He was a special guest on Saturday Night Live and has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, Regis, Oprah and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Kevin has also done numerous guest appearances on both sitcoms and dramas, and had a featured role in the movie Big.
Known for drawing upon his family relationships for much of his material, Kevin has made such lines as 'That's not Right' and 'We're Big Pants People' and 'We're going to lose the house' (delivered in the tremulous voice of his mother) catch phrases for hilarity. An evening with Kevin is a trip to the funhouse and one laugh escalates into a bigger one and good-hearted humor prevails.
