This week on Cultural Kultivators, we sit down with comedian and writer Kevin Camia, who is currently on tour with Sheng Wang. From his early influences of comedy legends like Andy Kaufman and Martin Lawrence to the serious undertones of historical research and personal resilience, Kevin opens up about the complexity of his craft and his approach to life's challenges.

Kevin shares the profound impact of mentors like Allan Manalo and explores the nitty gritty of creating characters that resonate with real historical figures, such as writing for "Larry" in "Larry the Musical." Discover the San Francisco comedy scene that shaped his early days and listen to Kevin’s invaluable wisdom for those navigating the unpredictable waves of the entertainment industry.

Kevin's reflections on maintaining authenticity while battling industry ups and downs are particularly important for young creatives and entertainers. Join us as we uncover the blend of humor, history, and heart with Kevin Camia—a true cultivator of cultural and comedic landscapes.
