Kenny Rogerson

BIOGRAPHy

Kenny Rogerson started his comedy career working the Chicago club circuit and at the famed Second City. After touring with the improvisational troupe The Comedy Rangers, Ken moved east and became a central part of the now famous (and infamous) exploding Boston comedy scene of the 1980’s. There he honed his standup act to a fine edge. Fresh off the Rescue Me Comedy Tour and recently appearing at the TBS Comedy Festival in Las Vegas, you may also have seen him as “Kevin the Biker Fireman” on F/X’s hit show “Rescue Me” starring Denis Leary or as “Pat the Cop” on ABC’s “It’s All Relative” with Lenny Clarke. He has also made numerous other television appearances on such shows as NBC’s “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “Comics Come Home” for Comedy Central and Showtime’s “A Pair of Jokes” just to name a few. A national headliner, Ken has performed all over the world. The Boston Herald says “He makes the absurd seem logical.” Las Vegas Magazine wrote, “As far as pure stand-up goes, it doesn’t get any better than Rogerson.” A writer, sketch player, actor and comedian, Ken wrote and starred in comedy film pieces on Fox Television Network’s “Sunday Comics” and has made film appearances in “Fever Pitch” and “There’s Something About Mary.” Life with Ken Rogerson is a wild ride… “I was out driving the other day and I had an accident. I hit a lake.”
