May Laughter Bless You: The Success Story of Kenny Sebastian

Comedy is a joy-evoking activity and probably it is the only way of preventing war and promoting peace. Comic enthusiasts are strong advocates of comedy being a form of art. Although the art has undergone some serious changes over the years, the motto of comic acts has remained the same and that is to evoke happiness into the minds of the audience.

Modern stand-up comedy

The history of modern stand-up comedy can be traced back to 1970’s when a new generation of comedians started this new type of comic. One of the important features of the modern stand-up comic is the inclusion of socio-political jokes that were not common earlier. Suddenly the comic scenario witnessed a significant revolution, as comic artists started using their freedom of speech and expression, in order to point out the society issues in a funnier tone. New comedy clubs were established in the USA, UK, and many other countries. But, India was still far from experiencing such an innovative form of comedy until 2000’s. However, once the Indian stand-up comedians started participating in the art, not only did we laugh but also became proud of them. One such stand-up artist is Kenneth Sebastian, whom most of us know by his nickname ‘Kenny’.



The journey of Kenny

Kenny was born in a middle-class family and his father is an Indian army officer. His childhood was a significant one, as he travelled across the country and had done his schooling in different schools. Right from his childhood, Kenny has been a creative personality and had an interest in filmmaking. He started making short films at the age of 15 and until he became 23, he already had directed and acted in a comedy show aired on ‘Comedy Central’. And the name of the show was ‘The Living Room’.

Early to YouTube

It was during the earlier phases of YouTube that Kenny started admiring the stand-up comedy videos, uploaded on the recently launched website. In an interview, Kenny revealed that he used to spend at least two hours on YouTube every day, just to understand the comic form. He also said that he was one of the earliest YouTube artists in India.

Musical comic

In the meantime, his short films had started gathering applauses from his friends and other independent filmmakers. He also produced an independent acoustic album, named ‘Balance’, when he was in college. In many musical shows, Kenny plays his guitar and sings funny songs. He also spends most of his time on stage telling jokes, as he loves it when people responded to his jokes. 

Journey to fame

It was not until Kenny was 19 that he got the biggest break of his life, as he participated in the IIT Fest stand up comedy night. He ended up winning the competition and since then, there was no looking back. He has performed live in many prestigious stand-up venues across the world including the ‘New York Comedy Club’, ‘Laughing Skull’ and shared the stage with some of the legendary comics of all time including Imran Yusuf (UK), Phil Nichol (UK), Raj Sharma (US) and much more. The online sensation had made it to the bigger stage based on his talent and enthusiasm.
