Humorist and playwright, Kevin Kling describes his zodiac sign as "Minnesota with Iowa rising," and his accent and parlance could be right off the set of "Fargo". He is a talented writer with the ability to capture the complexities of a moment in just a few words. As he explains it "I have a small command of the English language so I try to make each word a hero." Kevin grew up in Osseo, Minnesota and graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1979 with a B.A. in Theatre. His storytelling started when a friend asked him to perform his stories. Since then he has gone on to be awarded just about every prestigious arts grant and fellowship. Kevin built his reputation in the Twin Cities during the 1990s with his groundbreaking plays "21A" and "Fear and Loving in Minneapolis" and toured a one-man show of "Home and Away" across the US in the early part of the decade. While his writing and performing continue unabated, he has probably become best known for his regular story-telling contributions to NPR's "All Things Considered." - IMDb mini biography by: Anonymous
