Good things come in threes — and Joel Kim Booster would definitely agree. The writer, actor and comedian is making his Netflix comedy special debut in Psychosexual, in which he’ll discuss life’s most important topics like his preference for threesomes, the cultural nuances of being Asian, the best masturbation techniques and more.
Known for his raunchy style of humor and viral tweets, Kim Booster draws inspiration from his gay Asian identity and being adopted by a white family in the Midwest. “It was strange for me growing up with an all-white family in an all-white town,” the comedian says in Model Minority, his debut stand-up album released in 2018. “It’s sort of been a detriment to me now as an adult because I don’t meet a lot of cultural expectations of what an Asian person should be in this country.”
The king of Instagram thirst traps began his comedy career opening for Chicago’s theater scene, leading him to pursue stand-up in New York City. With credits ranging from being part of the cast of Big Mouth and writing on The Other Two, as well as co-hosting the podcast Urgent Care with Joel Kim Booster + Mitra Jouhari, Kim Booster will next star in this summer’s rom-com Fire Island, alongside Saturday Night Live’s Bowen Yang. Booked and busy, the comedian is also taking the Dynasty Typewriter stage on May 8 as part of Netflix Is a Joke: The Festival.
