(RED BANK, NJ) -- Count Basie Center for the Arts presents comedian Kev Herrera on Thursday, October 3, 2024 at 7:00pm. Born and raised in New York, Kevin Herrera is known for his comedic wit. Kevin has always been the "clown" with not only with his friends, but also within his large Hispanic family.
Kevin’s unfiltered, raw comedy is inspired by his triumphed life experiences. Life experiences that to most would likely break an individual, Kevin was able to take his humor and flourish. He has always had a love for comedy as it has been his solace and plays an imperative role in the person that he is today.
Kevin soon took a more creative approach with his organic comedic trait and animated persona, by expanding his comedy and producing relatable skits on social media for the everyday married couple and parent. Only Raising Kings continues to grow beyond what he could ever imagine. Kevin is also the creator of The Lunchroom, a podcast that gives the uncensored perspectives of how the everyday man thinks in real life situations.
Now as a social media influencer, Kevin wanted more, he knew he was ready to not only share his humor but his life story.
Tickets range from $25-$40 and are available for purchase online. Count Basie Center for the Arts is located at 99 Monmouth Street in Red Bank, New Jersey.
