MAS: You are one funny guy- Kenny Klein winner of the August Comedy Contest, what’s the story behind the video clip you’ve entered in the Make A Star contest?
Kenny: I was performing for a private party at the World Famous Geisha House in Hollywood California.
MAS: Tell us how you got started as a stand-up comic.
Kenny: When I was 17 my interest was peaked by a comedy special I saw. I went down to the LA Laugh Factory in Hollywood and tried their open mic. Been hooked ever since.
MAS: How do you feel when you are on stage as a comedian?
Kenny: It’s the only time I truly feel like I’m where I’m supposed to be.
MAS: Agreed, definitely where you should be. How do you write your jokes and put together a routine?
Kenny: It usually starts with an ordinary conversation with somebody, and something will just hit me.
MAS: Have other people compared you to any other comics?
Kenny: I’ve had people compare me to Steven Wright and Mitch Hedberg. Sometimes girls will compare me to Dane Cook.
MAS: Intersting, who are your comedy heroes that have influenced your style?
Kenny: Brian Regan, Steven Wright, Dave Attell, just for starters. But I think we’re all influenced by everything we see.
MAS: What are your career plans for the year ahead?
Kenny: Comedy is a bumpy ride, and one not always filled with money, but I’d like to think I’ll scratch out a living with it anyway.
MAS: We believe in you Kenny. What is the best and worst part about being a stand-up comic?
Kenny: I think the best part is making people laugh, I know it sounds corny, but it really is an amazing feeling. I think the worst part would have to be how saturated the market out here in LA really is.
MAS: What is the best and worst part about the industry for comics today?
Kenny: Personally I believe the internet has given all of us a great chance to show the world what we can do. The worst part would have to be the stiff competition, but hey, they keeps us all on our toes right?
MAS: Indeed, but you may be a toe ahead you take the win the Make A Star Contest. How does MakeAStar.com compare (good or bad) with other talent websites?
Kenny: I have nothing but respect for what MakeAStar.com is doing. Always great to see people supporting other people that tackle their dreams.
MAS: Tell us something completely random.
Kenny: I stabbed myself in the stomach once. I was trying to kill my Voodoo Doll…
MAS: And a win for random comments, good luck on your journey Kenny Klein!
