One of Australia’s premier Aboriginal comedy stars, Kevin Kropinyeri is a one-man whirlwind that will have you holding your sides laughing, as he shares tales of growing up, marriage and the absurd challenges of life as an Aboriginal Australian family man. A high-energy performer, Kevin is sharp, likeable, silly and measured, mixing keen observational stand-up with joyfully ridiculous physical comedy.
Kevin tours Australia constantly, appearing all over the country, including at some of its most remote communities, and is a bona fide star of the Indigenous performing arts, appearing at the Deadly Awards at the Sydney Opera House six years running.
As well he is a regular feature on the mainstream corporate, club and festival circuits and a Comedy Festival Roadshow regular.
He is also steadily building a substantial TV and media profile with a long list of special guest appearances.
Kev boasts a rich background as a state grade footballer and basketballer, a visual artist and years as a Youth Worker and an Aboriginal Education Worker … and now, as the exciting new face of black Australian comedy.
