INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Kenny Sebastian was born into a middle-class family in Kerala, where his early childhood experiences were shaped by the nomadic lifestyle of his father’s job in the Indian Navy. This constant relocation across different parts of India not only fueled his curiosity but also laid the foundation for his vibrant personality. Known for his mischievousness as a child, Kenny displayed an early affinity for storytelling and creativity, which would later manifest in his passion for film direction. It was at the tender age of 15 when he embarked on his filmmaking journey, and by the time he turned 23, he had already directed 12 short films and two full-length features, showcasing his dedication and talent in the craft.
After completing his schooling, Kenny found his calling in the world of theatre. He delved into acting and spent several years honing his skills on stage. His first significant foray into live performance came at the age of 19, when he participated in a stand-up comedy competition at an IIT festival in Mumbai and emerged victorious. This triumph marked a pivotal moment in his career, leading him to create his YouTube channel “Kenny Sebastian” in 2008, where he released his debut video, “9 Hours To Live.” His innovative approach to comedy gained traction, especially with the #KennySing4Me campaign on Twitter, where he transformed tweets into catchy songs, captivating a growing audience.
In 2014, Kenny expanded his creative horizons by writing and directing a season of “The Living Room,” India’s first sketch comedy television show. He continued to build his reputation within the comedy community, creating an improved sketch show for Comedy Central and making notable cameos in web series such as “Humorously Yours,” “Better Life Foundation,” and “Pushpavalli.” Additionally, he co-wrote and acted in the web series “Star Boyz,” while also developing original content like his series “Die Trying” and the sketch comedy show “Sketchy Behaviour,” available on Amazon Prime Video. With the establishment of his production studio, “SuperHuman Studioz,” Kenny has ensured a steady stream of engaging content for his YouTube channel and beyond.
As a prominent figure in the Indian comedy scene, Kenny has performed at renowned venues such as The Canvas Laugh Club and The Comedy Store. He is also a member of ‘The Improvisers,’ a collective of talented comedians that includes names like Kanan Gill and Abish Matthew. His cross-country tour, “Don’t Be That Guy,” began in January 2017 and helped solidify his standing as a leading comedian, contributing to over 500 shows performed by 2019. His impressive portfolio includes collaborations with celebrated comedians from around the world, such as Vir Das and Scott Capurro. Despite his success, Kenny’s journey has not been without challenges; he faced stage fright during his school years, which he overcame through determination and self-help literature. With a diverse skill set that includes fluency in multiple languages and a passion for animals, especially dogs, Kenny Sebastian continues to captivate audiences with his unique blend of humor and storytelling.
