Succeeding in the cutthroat stand-up comedy industry requires a special mix of talent and timing.

KYLE CEASE Album: One Dimple Grade: A Verdict: Fans of Dane Cook, Mitch Hedberg and Daniel Tosh should buy this highly quotable, downright hilarious album immediately.

Young comedian Kyle Cease has both in spades, and hes out to prove it with his recently released CD/DVD titled One Dimple.

Cease's talent is undeniable, with impeccable timing and delivery of his situational and observational humor about the nuances of life as a comedian.

The timing of the albums release is working in his favor, as he is following closely in the wake of the rapidly rising popularity of strikingly similar and wildly popular comics like Dane Cook and the late Mitch Hedberg.

Kyle Cease is easily the best comedian youve never heard of.

Ironically, however, most would recognize his face from various B-list roles in movies and TV shows.

His largest credit as an actor thus far has been the role of the nerdy and uptight Bogey Lowenstein in the 1999 movie 10 Things I Hate About You.

Cease's identification with a younger generation is his greatest asset and stems from his early start in comedy.

Officially, he began performing stand-up as a 7-year-old grade-schooler and his career blossomed without any roadblocks.

By age 18, he was the youngest headlining comic in the Northwest, earning him the nickname Kid Comedy.

Though now pushing 30, Cease can reminisce with a younger crowd about things like original Nintendo and early 90s Sunny Delight commercials.

Some of the material on One Dimple straddles the borders of offensiveness, but Cease delivers edgy jokes in a good-hearted manner.

Also, his grittier jokes are usually surrounded by less offensive, but equally effective, material.

The secret of Kyle Cease is one that cannot possibly be kept under wraps for much longer. Kid Comedy is taking off to an entirely new level.
