Canadian born and proud Hamiltonian, Kyle Radke is entering his 12th year as a professional stand up comedian.  

After his first terrifying and disappointing year of comedy, Kyle slowly began to make a name for himself within the stand up community and suddenly went from "barely tolerable" to "meh... not bad" at comedy clubs and other venues across Canada where he began studying comedy - 101.  Kyle's efforts soon paid off with a run of success that earned him a C.O.C.A performer of the year nomination, a nomination for The Tim Sims Encouragement Award and a nomination for The Phil Hartman Award. He won none of them and as a result, Kyle temporarily sold out to the world of T.V commercials and promptly developed an image disorder.

In 2004 and after he put the weight back on, Kyle was one of 3 Canadians chosen to perform in Cape Town, South Africa at the Smirnoff Ice Comedy Festival where he delighted crowds and media on and off the main stage with his obvious love of stand up comedy and local nightlife.

In 2005, Kyle Radke realized his boyhood dream as he won first place in the Homegrown Comedy Championship at The Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. The victory earned him a very cool trophy and the honor of performing at the festival's highest profile shows including "Best Of The Fest" and "Comedy Night In Canada".  Kyle returned to Just For Laughs in 2010 as host of the popular DOUBLE THREAT club series held in Toronto.

In 2011 Kyle's half hour comedy special, Comedy Now, aired on CTV and The Comedy Network.

Currently, this man called Radke continues his efforts to bring new and better material to the stage.  Described by his peers and the industry  as "...a funny comedian with very limited marketability", Kyle Radke has focused on being more universal, with no angle and nothing to hide... except for his numerous addictions and personality disorders.
