Ken Garr

Ken Garr is a high-octane stand-up comedian whose journey to the stage is as compelling as his act. Hailing from three generations of Chicago firefighters, Garr famously walked away from a lucrative career as a Managing Director at NASDAQ to pursue comedy full-time. This unique blend of blue-collar roots and white-collar experience fuels his signature style: a mix of sardonic wit, powerhouse punches, and relatable storytelling that has made him a staple on Comedy Central, HULU, and Sirius XM. A graduate of the world-famous Second City Conservatory, Ken has solidified his status as a premier headliner with hit specials like American Hero and his 2024 release, Love From Las Vegas, filmed at the prestigious Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club. His accolades include being a finalist in the San Francisco International Comedy Competition and serving as the head writer for major televised events.
