Brooklyn-based comedian Kevin Casey White released his debut comedy special Harangue via 800 Pound Gorilla earlier this month.
Eight minutes before the start of our Zoom interview, I receive a message from Kevin Casey White, the type of text one can expect from many modern comedians:White and I haven’t spoken in nearly 20 years, so I don’t mind waiting a few extra minutes. I can’t remember the first time we met. He was always there, bouncing off the walls of our St. Louis County high school’s common area, trying so hard to make someone, anyone, laugh.
Over the years, we lost touch, but White’s promotional posts for comedy shows would occasionally pop up on my social feeds, and every time, all I could think was, No, it needs to be in a separate room. It needs to have a cool punk rock feel, and it has to feel underground and hipin 2009. Disappointed in the lack of local talent doing interesting and exciting stuff, White started connecting with Chicago comedians to bring them down forshows. The night was successful, lasting long after White moved to The Windy City in 2011., a live performance in which comedians debated outlandish topics.
