Kevin Klenkel is on the prowl.

Where to begin with a man like Kevin Klenkel?  He wears many hats, that of the lover, the fighter, and the comedian.  He also can sometimes be seen sporting an actual hat.  Some people think he is before his time, others think he was born too late, but the doctor insisted that when he was born that was the time he was born.  He lives like a king, if the king had no money, power, or influence on the delicate workings of the state.  At 13 he moved to the ass end of nowhere but now he’s back. Back, back and we’re glad he’s back—he had to slay a dragon, kill a giant, and fix a wagon. Wage a war, feed the world, and stamp out sin.  In the daytime he was never in.  but now he’s moved to Stand up comedy and things will never be the changed.

Likes: That kid, he’s cool.  America.  Staying alive (both the action and to a lesser extent the song).  Electronico zapatos.

Dislikes: people who wear belts and suspenders at the same time. Coffee. Mayonnaise. Hipsters. Communists.

Did You Know?:  That sailing the seven seas is not as satisfying as you would expect.

One sentence bio: Isaac Hirsch is not into the whole brevity thing. [alternatively, if Harrison chooses “Harrison Baum is a threat to society,” make mine also “Harrison Baum is a threat to society”]

Isaac Hirsch has had a great interest in comedy ever since he learned to laugh, at the age of 8. [He is still learning to love.] He mostly tells short jokes that are not about him, either because he is boring or there are some horrible things about himself he doesn’t want you to know.

Likes:
-Music you’ve never heard of, not because it’s underground or anything, just because it’s bad
-Jokes that are self-referential
-Remember when I said I liked self-referential jokes? Wasn’t that funny?

Dislikes:
-Talking with people at length, because it reveals I am a jerk or stupid or both
-The strange high pitched hum in my room

Did You Know?:-Isaac plays quizbowl, which means he knows a lot of trivia and academic stuff, but he was never very good at it, so he doesn’t know THAT much trivia?

Some say I am a threat to society. I cannot confirm nor deny these accusations BUT IF YOU DO I’LL HAMMER YOUR FUCKING FACE IN.

In North Potomac born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool
And all playin some gameboy outside of school
When my SAT scores came
They were not too good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one big college and had to embark
They said ‘You’re movin’ in with some druggies to College Park.

And now I do comedy.

Likes:
hammers

Dislikes:
homeless people, feet
