Riot Act is all about bringing our fans the most dazzling and entertaining performers in the land and this is why Kevin Lee headlines our club April 19th and 21st. If ever there was a comedian/ magician to be seen, it is Kevin Lee. Kevin's unique combination of comedy, magic and juggling leaves audiences both in awe and in crutches. Having appeared on "Showtime at the Apollo", HBO's "Def Comedy Jam", and Jamie Foxx's "Uptown Comedy Club", Lee was also voted "Washington's Funniest Comedian" by Washingtonian Magazine. Riot Act is pleased to bring Kevin Lee back to his hometown and finally give DC residents a chance to be wowed by one of their very own.
Kevin's stage career began in 1983 at The Comedy Cafe here in Washington DC where he placed first in the very first comedy competition he ever entered. After a quick stint as a street entertainer in DC, Lee moved to Venice Beach, the mecca of street performers. It was there that Kevin honed his craft, building his repertoire of comedy, magic and juggling to audiences of all ages and walks of life.
Lee has also been seen on five seasons of BET's "Comic View" and his distinctive skills have allowed him to share the stage with legends such as Gladys Knight, Chris Rock, Whitney Houston, Chris Tucker and Sinbad. He performed for the troops in Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm and continues to entertain military bases around the world including in Korea, Germany, Italy and Japan. Wynton Marsalis featured Lee in his "The Magic Tour" which sold out from New York to Los Angeles in 2004. A rare and true talent, Kevin Lee is not to be missed.
