Kevin Shewey is a quick thinker, a fast talker, and idealistic to a fault. He’s sharp on the uptake and always has a witty zinger when someone does something stupid, but will also be the first to give a compliment when it’s needed. Generally optimistic with a strong moral center. Fiercely intelligent. Usually bad with relationships.
Kevin is an actor, producer, improvisor, and big time nerd. After getting his MFA in Acting from UC Irvine, he did a stint in New York where he performed Shakespeare Off-Broadway, followed by a stint in a touring musical, followed by realizing that Los Angeles is a much nicer place to live than the East Coast. Now he works and performs in Los Angeles where he’s a member of the Actors Co Op Theatre company and a frequent performer at UCB.
Whether onstage or on camera, Kevin loves stories that connect people, bring empathy and compassion, make people laugh, and teach us something about ourselves.
