Comedy on the Coast – June

Cop-turned-Comedian, Kevin Jordan is on the verge of stardom! A native of Queens, New York, Kevin graduated from St. John’s University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications. He moved to Los Angeles where he joined the Los Angeles Police Department. After stepping on stage for the first time, still working as a cop, Kevin found out quickly that he preferred making people laugh. In the latter part of his time as an officer, he juggled both careers. “When I pulled someone over, I didn’t know whether to write them a ticket or tell them a joke!” Dedicating his time to entertaining, after five years with the force, as he likes to put it, “I found out I was allergic to doughnuts!”

A much sought-after entertainer, Kevin thrills audiences at comedy clubs, colleges, corporate functions, and venues in all fifty states. Kevin is also a headlining comedian for every major cruise line. Most notably, Kevin has had the privilege to perform over 5000 shows for the USO and the troops worldwide.

Kevin, besides winning the prestigious Southern California Comedy Competition, has appeared on The Today Show, Evening at the Improv, VH-1, MTV, Comedy Central, Showtime at the Apollo, Comic Strip Live!, Comedy Time!, and numerous other network and cable shows.

Kevin Jordan’s blend of high energy and lovable charm make him a favorite wherever he performs. His stories of his days as a police officer, a family man, and his everyday view on life never fail to draw huge laughs from his audiences.

If your type of comedian is someone who reminds us all how funny we all are, Chris Strait is for you! No funny topic is off-limits for this California native… but he’s just telling his story. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Strait is a study in what happens when a man spends his formative years standing out. From being the only white guy among black guys in the neighborhood, to being the only tall guy among short guys in the boxing gym, to being the only man among women in grad school, Strait became an expert on people. If you don’t believe me, try and count how many times you laugh while saying “that is so true!” He tells it like it is, never losing his smile!

Strait headlines comedy clubs, private events, and colleges all over the U.S. and Canada. You may have also seen him on E!, Fuel-TV, as a weekly commentator on Tru-TV’s The Smoking Gun, and two seasons on World’s Dumbest. He has also performed as a comedian on Fox, Nickelodeon, Starz, and hosted the National Lampoon Film Lost Reality 2. Chris has comedy specials on Dry Bar and Amazon and 4 CDs available online. He has also entertained the troops in the Middle East, Europe, Japan, and Cuba. In addition, Strait hosts his own internet boxing show.
