Originally from Tacoma ,Washington, Ken is now a Chicago based Comedian and published writer. Ken Hamlett, the self-proclaimed DILF of comedy stumbled into stand up shortly after giving up his career as a Division 1 college athlete. Being a Division 1 athlete sounds much more impressive than what it was; because somebody's gotta take last place. His love for crowd work and his energetic storytelling brings audiences into his world of being a dad and ex nerd.
Ken is currently a regular opener for Nimesh Patel (Lucky Lefty Tour & Fast & Loose Tour) and Nate Jackson (I'll do it myself Tour). Ken Hamlett has starred in "Step Into Standup", a PBS Documentary. He is the two-time winner of Western Oregon University’s Last Comic Standing and the winner of the 2018 Western Oregon Comedy Competition.
