Time Out dubbed him the: “Maestro of the Underground,” as he has been setting up events for comedy, music, spoken word and poetry for decades. He’s had his formative years in Berlin ‘87-‘95 and still plays there regularly, as well as running a few rooms in Amsterdam and frequent trips in the UK club circuit.

Ken has countless of gigs under his belt, including Glastonbury Festival, Cologne Comedy Festival, special guest at Musical Comedy Awards in London and a comedy sketch on the mainstage at a packed Paradiso. He is a headline act and has also opened for Ignacio Lopez, Marcel Lucont and Keith Farnan.

He is also a film actor, writer and accomplished musician (guitar, voice and Celtic harp) and recording artist, having worked in the studio with Sarah Brightman’s producer - among others - and supported acts like Fairport Convention, Gary Howard ( Flying Pickets) and New Model Army.

Ken is polyglot, so you can expect wonderfully absurd observations on languages, accents and human interactions, great comedy, political satire, legendary parody songs as well as zany head-trips, masterful misdirection,  surreal dad-jokes and crafted one-liners.  He wrote a thesis on storytelling in folklore so you can also expect punk parables and urban fairytales.
