When it comes to stand-up comedy, no one will ever be able to say that they built their career from the ground up better than comedian/social media influencer Kevin “KevOnStage” Fredricks. 12 years ago, Fredricks was your normal husband and father working a proper 9-5 and making his family laugh on a constant basis.
One day his 5-year-old encouraged him to begin making funny viral videos for social media.
Since then, he’s built an audience of more than 3 million followers through instagram, twitter, and tik-tok, two sold-out national comedy tours and launched his own production studio. Now, Kevin will be taking center stage for all the world to see in the form of his debut comedy special entitled Funny In Real Life.
Filmed in Southern California, Kev talks about everything from his weight, his poor upbringing, his relationship with his wife and kids to church. Buckle up for a WILD RIDE OF COMEDY!
There are also other shows, such as Black People Don’t Do Improv, a bare-bones improv game show; Explain This, where Fredericks and Tahir Moore sharpen their roasting skills by doing deep dives on comedians’ old photos; and Black Card Off Layaway, with African American comic Keysha E. engaging in foreign-to-her, Black activities like playing spades and making potato salad.
Fredericks also has a heavy, social-media following, with his 1.3 million followers on Instagram usually ready for all the viral-video commentaries and other funny clips he drops on the page. With the fan base he has online, it explains why several of the cities on his tour, which also features Tahir Moore and Angel Laketa Moore, have already sold out. The Friday and Saturday shows he’ll be doing at the Improv this weekend are full.
