Scott Kennedy

He looks like a Football player and in fact did play. In 1990 He moved to Houston, Texas and met the love of his life Kevin Maye, another comic and they became partners not only in life but on the stage as well. They founded The Gay Comedy Jam, a show that sold-out shows in 150 cities across the US. The Gay Comedy Jam did not just go into Metro cities, but instead brought Gay Comedy to Macon, GA and Birmingham, AL and Nashville, and Tampa... the list goes on but with the death of Kevin Maye in 1998 The Gay Comedy Jam does not.

Kennedy has been a national touring comic for almost two decades, gaining success from performances at the Montréal Comedy Festival and HBO's Aspen Comedy Festival. Scott has been seen on Comedy Central's Premium Blend and was given his own 1/2 hour special Comedy Central Presents... Scott Kennedy. Both of these are shown regularly not only on Comedy Central but LOGO as well. In addition he is a favorite on CMT. In 2005 Scott was named one of the 100 greatest all time comedians by Comedy Central. He has been given his own pilot on VHS, and been featured in the feature film 10 Attitudes.

There are many passions in Kennedy's life but the one thing he is proudest of is that in the last 2 years he has been to Afghanistan and Iraq FIVE times to entertain our troops. "We go to the front lines, the firebases. We get shot at, I have seen death... but the looks on the soldiers faces when we arrive on a Blackhawk to do a show where no one else has been, makes it all worth while." Scott plans two more trips in the next six months. Scott says; "Maybe it was me going to Military School growing up or something that really makes me connect with these HEROs. Scott's lastest CD, Scott Kennedy REALLY!?!? Came out on Sept 15th, 2006 and with each sale another CD is sent to a soldier overseas.
