Byron Kennedy

Byron Kennedy’s irreverent, observational style and natural storytelling panache connects with audiences across the nation, moving him quickly from open mic nights to featuring, to the Grand ole Opry, a Las Vegas residency and now headlining gigs across the country. ! Declared the “Leonardo DaVinci Of Radio” by broadcast legend Howard Stern, Kennedy built an impressive résumé at a CBS Radio and, later, a top Nashville record label. Happily, it made him miserable. "I kept getting promoted into executive roles and felt like an impostor," he says. Dragged onstage at an open mic night, he heard his calling. "I did two shots, told a few stories and got some laughs. Then we went out and celebrated like I'd just killed it on The Tonight Show. The next morning, I was certain this was all I wanted to do." "I can't explain it, but when you land that ?rst laugh, there's no turning back." ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ……Byron Kennedy
