bio

KEB-KEB the Magic Clown (alias Kevin Kelber) was born in Milwaukee WI in
1959 and was fascinated by magic & comedy from an early age. His first public
performance was for his 3rd grade class "show and tell" with his Marshall Brodien
magic set. KEB-KEB was also heavily influenced by the great comedians of the time
including Bill Cosby, Uncle Milty, Soupy Sales, Flip Wilson & many others. He
performed his first "professional"(defined as being paid - $20.00!!) show was at the
age of 17 for the child of a co-worker. KEB-KEB remembers "Although I was able
to fool the children and their parents with my tricks, I felt that something was missing."

KEB-KEB discovered that missing element after seeing the touring magic shows of
Doug Henning and Harry Blackstone Jr. KEB-KEB - "After seeing these 2
legendary magical professionals, I knew what I was missing. Even though I knew the
technical aspects of how most of their tricks worked, I found myself being drawn into
the fantasy magical world created by these pros. I was being ENTERTAINED and I
didn't care that I already knew the trick."

Re-locating to California in 1980, KEB-KEB combined his love of magic and
comedy and cut his early performing teeth on the streets of San Francisco learning
how to handle audiences ranging from awe-struck children to street-wise teenagers
along with inebriated adults. This was where the seeds for KEB-KEB the clown
character would germinate. KEB-KEB also joined the International Brotherhood of
Magicians and the World Clown Association attending conventions & seminars
learning from the best professional clowns and magicians in the world.

KEB-KEB has combined this education with his love of comedy into a unique and
totally original clown character that is perfect for any event from a small Birthday
Party to Corporate events and Grand Openings. After more than a quarter century
in whiteface, KEB-KEB is still going strong and will be entertaining children & their
parents for many years to come!
