Kermet Apio

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Kermet Apio enjoyed a childhood in paradise. He spent his time watching, television, playing, and procrastinating everything else. To this day, he still does all three extensively.
After graduating from high school, Kermet went to Seattle to attend the University of Washington. Seattle became home. In the winter of 1988, Kermet did his first open mic night at the Comedy Underground in Seattle. Comedy was a great hobby. In May of 1990, he quit his job, said goodbye to health care and benefits, and too the leap to performing full time. It is still his only job skill.
He has appeared on "Star Search," A&E's "Evening at the Improv," Louie Anderson's "Comedy Showcase," and "Almost Live." He is a past winner of the Seattle Comedy Competition and was a showcase comedian at the HBO Aspen Comedy Festival. He has entertained in 44 states and two Canadian provinces. His résumé includes over 120 colleges and over 200 corporate shows, as well as 25 comedy clubs and eight cruise ships.
"One of the brightest lights on the comedy club circuit."
- Cary Smith, Journal American
"He's an affable guy-next-door type whose good natured humor banishes winter blues."
- Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Kermet's Hawaiian upbringing is evident in his easy-going style. He relates stories of his life in a clean show that is appropriate for many events. He also has extensive experience bussing tables.
Kermet is married and the proud father of two wonderful children. He enjoys his family, baseball, and pie. He does not enjoy opera, sitting in traffic, and writing about himself in the third person.
