Comedy has become one of the greatest ways for your event to come alive… to bring people together… and to just have some fun.   For sales meetings, For the company party, for team building seminars and for conventions there is nothing better.    No matter what the occasion, stand-up comedy can bring everyone together in a way they’ll remember for years.  It is important though that you have someone with experience, the ability to adapt the material to your event and of course to keep everything above board and clean.   Nobody has done that quite so well over the years than the Seattle International Comedy Competition award winner Kermet Apio!

“I started doing comedy at an open mike night in 1989.  I have now performed in 44 states because, finally, I got North Dakota.”

Hawaiian-born comedian Kermet Apio started performing standup comedy in Seattle in 1989.  He has appeared on "Star Search," A&E's "Evening at the Improv," Louie Anderson's "Comedy Showcase," and "Almost Live."  He is a past winner of the Seattle Comedy Competition and was a showcase comedian at the HBO Aspen Comedy Festival.  He has entertained in 44 states and two Canadian provinces.  His résumé includes over 120 colleges and over 200 corporate shows, as well as 25 comedy clubs and eight cruise ships.


"One of the brightest lights on the comedy club circuit." - Cary Smith, Journal American

"He's an affable guy-next-door type whose good natured humor banishes winter blues." – Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune.

"Kermet Apio is a consummate professional.  His calm demeanor belies a brilliant comedic mind.  His gentle nature hides a razor sharp wit.  He seems like the kind of guy you could sit at a Denny's with and the reason that your stomach hurt so much wasn't because the omelet was undercooked but because Kermet had you laughing so hard...  Well, let's be honest...it's Denny's...it'd probably be a combination of the omelet and Kermet."--Peter Greyy (exclusive SC commentary)


Kermet's Hawaiian upbringing is evident in his easy-going style. He relates stories of his life in a clean show that is appropriate for many events. He also has extensive experience bussing tables.
