Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii Kermet Apio enjoyed a childhood in paradise. He spent his time watching television, playing and procrastinating everything else. To this day he still does all three extensively.

After graduating high school, Kermit went to Seattle to attend the University of Washington. Seattle became his home. In the winter of 1988 Kermit did his first open mike at the Comedy Underground in Seattle. Comedy was a great hobby. In May of 1990, he quit his job, said goodbye to health care and benefits, and took the leap to performing full time. It is still his only job skill.

Kermit is married and the proud father of two wonderful children. He enjoys his family, baseball, and pie. He does not enjoy opera, sitting in traffic, and writing about himself in the third person.
