Gabe Kea's Stand-up Comedian Profile on Rooftop Comedy

Gabe Kea is like no other comedian you'll find working today. Mostly, because he's not working.

But when he does, he charms and entertains crowds with his fresh and original style of dynamic, well-crafted comedy.

Kea often claims he is from Canada and although his frequent use of the word "aboot" supports this, the truth is he's only actually visited twice. Gabe began his career in stand-up comedy after a post-college vacation to Europe where he discovered a talent for connecting with foreigners through his engaging stories and friendly demeanor. Europe is also where he discovered it would be best to refer to himself as "Canadian" rather than "American."

Since then, Kea has created an unforgettable name for himself in the comedy community, and in September of 2009, he was named "Funniest Person in Cincinnati" just months after moving there. Kea was able to win while juggling the responsibilities of running and judging the contest at the same time. An investigation is currently underway.
