There is not one stand up comedian who came through the Chicago scene in the last 20 years who would not site Dwayne Kennedy as an influence and inspiration. Any time I felt I was getting good at stand up I’d see Dwayne and think, “I don’t know shit.”  He’s pacing timing and pauses are amazing. Dwayne is a fucking maser. Even dudes like Jeff Garlin praise Dwayne’s brilliance. Enjoy.
