Farley, who was born in Madison Wisconsin, studied at the famous Second City in Chicago. It wasn’t long after that he appeared in films such as “Black Sheep” (with his brother Chris Farley) and “The Waterboy” with Adam Sandler.
Soon after, Farley landed a starring role as Doug Linus on MTV’s sitcom “2gether” where he was met with rave reviews. He continues to grace TV with guest appearances on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Drunk History,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” and “Superstore.” Farley also voices a multitude of characters on the hit Netflix show “F is for Family.”
He has found his way into a wide variety of feature films such as “Crowning Jules,” “Frat Pack,” and “Joe Dirt 2.” His most recent roles have been in features such as “1up” and “The Truth About Santa Claus” and he recently shot a lead in the Christmas film “Grumpy Old Santa” that was released in late 2023.
When Farley is not writing screenplays, producing, directing or on set filming, he regularly embraces the stage doing stand-up comedy and has worked with Reno Tahoe Comedy for almost 10 years.
Farley moved behind the camera to write, direct, and produce on many different projects and met with high praise in all the national reviews.
Farley co-executive produced the heartwarming “I Am Chris Farley” — a first feature-length biographical documentary about his brother Chris – the late comedy legend. He’s also co-written and co-directed “Hollywood & Wine”, an irreverent look at an actress struggling in Hollywood. In addition, Farley directed the comedy “Paranormal Movie.” The film pokes fun at the “found footage” horror, sub-genre popular with moviegoers today.
He is a regular on shows and podcasts like “The Bystanders” with Jane Lynch, and “Offsides.” He also co-hosts “The Farley Farm” with his wife out of their home in Fort Myers. He has been featured on “The Today Show,” “The View,” “Extra,” Fox News, and countless radio shows. He has even crafted his own Drybar Comedy Special. Kevin Farley has truly established himself as a comedic presence both on the big screen and off.
The featured guest for the show, Camilla Cleese is a writer, comedian and actor based out of Los Angeles. For fifteen years she has been working in comedy, and has made numerous television appearances, most notably on Comedy Central and AGT. Camilla tours nationally and internationally, and has appeared in some of the most prestigious festivals in the world — The Edinburgh Fringe Festival and SXSW.
Last year, she appeared in the comedy feature film “Daddy Daughter Trip” with Rob Schneider.
Currently, Camilla is writing a TV series with her father, John Cleese, which they will also star in, and is being produced by the legendary Rob Reiner and Castle Rock Entertainment.
