    Always viewing life through the eyes of a comic, Kirk McHenry blends all of his life experiences together into a storytelling brand of comedy that has been likened to Robert Klein with a Richard Pryor twist. Having already opened for stars such as Paul Mooney, Bobby Slayton, Tommy Davidson, D.C. Curry, Joe Torry, and musical groups such as The Whispers, DeBarge, and Kem, McHenry has gained recognition as one of comedy’s fastest rising young stars—in addition to being recognized as one of the top 10 comics in the Bay Area (Karma 777 Film Works & Productions). Kirk is a member of the clean comedy division of Entertainmentmax.
