About

I’m Seyoung Kim, a comedy writer and performer based in Brooklyn, NY.

Comedy

I write and perform sketch with house teams at the Magnet Theater and indie team Queer Window at venues including the Upright Citizen’s Brigade, Magnet Theater, Brooklyn Comedy Collective, and more. My festival credits include SF Sketchfest, Austin Sketch Fest, DC Sketchfest, Philly Sketchfest, and LA PackFest.

I co-direct sketch for Magnet’s REMIX Diversity Sketch Lab.

Most recently, I co-wrote, directed, and produced “A Sketch Show… Or Else” with my comedy partner Jacob Stone.

And finally, you can see me perform improv comedy with my indie teams Paid 2 Be Here and The Slaysians.
