    Kevin Yee

    This issue of the A-Profiler, Raymond Lam interviews performing artist Kevin Yee. Find out why Yee dislikes roller coasters, why he enjoys acting in student films, and what challenges he has faced as a performing artist.

    Which musical best describes you?
    I guess I’ve always connected with Wicked. The story of a misunderstood outcast…

    I’ve read that you have a fear of roller coasters; how did this fear begin and how did you deal with riding the “Corkscrew” 27 times consecutively?
    I don’t like riding roller coasters because they just look scary and I always think I’m going to have a heart attack. When I was hired to film a commercial for the roller coaster “Corkscrew” I didn’t really know what I was in for. I also really wanted to be on a commercial because I was ten and had never been in one before. The ride started and I thought I was going to vomit… ESPECIALLY when it went upside down. But they didn’t even give me an opportunity to get off or quit because the ride just kept going 27 times consecutively and never stopped. I’ve been on rollercoaster’s since and I still hate them.

    What other phobias do you have?
    Anything death related ...

    Comedian Marc Abrigo

    This issue of the A-Profiler, Nelson Wong interviews comedian Marc Abrigo. Find out how Abrigo got his start in stand-up comedy, what his thoughts on hecklers are, and how he warms up before performances like a mixed martial artist. Abrigo will be will headlining at the Purple Onion in San Francisco on February 18, 2012.

    As a child, were you always known as a funny kid? How did you get started in stand-up comedy?
    Truth be told, it was the only real thing I was good at, growing up. That, and eating ridiculous amounts of fried foods. As for how I started, I joined Bindlestiff Studio, the epicenter for Filipino/Fil-Am arts out of the Bay Area, in 2005 and took part in one of their stand-up workshops two years later. My teacher told me it’d be a waste if I stopped, and here I am, five years later.

    Your stand-up comedy is pretty much geared towards adults and yet you are known for your young look. Do you find that works to your advantage when you walk on stage with new audiences? Do you find yourself getting ...
