KYLE GROOMS Headlining at GOTHAM! May 30, 2009

In just a few short years Kyle Grooms has become one of the funniest young comics on the New York stand-up circuit. His love for comedy caused him to abandon his career as Art Director for a Hispanic television network and perform comedy full time. Today he is a headlining comedian with numerous television shows to his credit. This New Jersey born comedian is determined to be one of the strongest comedic voices of our generations.

Kyle delivers an honest and intelligent approach towards comedy. Kyle gives an intimate look into his life experiences growing up in the American Melting Pot. Kyle says, "I want to spill my guts on stage." His exploration of the human experience crosses many ethnic and social boundaries. For this reason that Kyle has been invited to perform on shows such as diverse as "Showtime at the Apollo," "Comedy Picante," "Premium Blend" and "Tough Crowd with Collin Quinn." Kyle has also been well received throughout England, Holland and at the Montreal Comedy Festival.

His interest in comedy started around the age of nine. Often left home alone, Kyle kept himself entertained by listening to eight track tapes of singer Otis Redding and comedian Richard Pryor. Never a great singer, Kyle would perform Pryor's jokes for his friends and family. Eventually he would develop his own comedic wit. But comedy wasn't his first career choice after high school. As a former graffiti artist, Kyle chose to attend the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale where he received a degree in commercial art.

Kyle's TV and Radio credits include "Def Comedy Jam," "Comic View," "Que Locos," "Chappelle's Show," and as "Information Guy" on "Straight Plan for the Gay Man."
