Once referred to as “a joke monster” by Dom Irrera and “a Mitch Hedberg who works at a carwash in Glendale” by Moshe Kasher, Gabriel Killian knew he wanted to be a stand-up comedian as early as 14 years old. At age 13, he happened to be at the right place at the right time, as Rodney Dangerfield approached him inside of a SEARS parking lot in North Hollywood, CA and started making conversation.

Gabe didn’t think much of it until a year later when he was attending a lunch time stand-up comedy show that the Theater teacher at his high school was putting on. After watching the show, Gabe knew that’s what he wanted to do, and on that day, he went home and started writing jokes. He wrote jokes for years without telling them to anyone, and it took a full decade for him to develop the courage to finally go on stage. “Gabriel Killian, the comedian” was born in Los Angeles on his 24th birthday. He soon found his way to The Comedy Store, which quickly became his home.
