"It was the only ticket available at such short notice," he told Business Insider. He joked that, if his sibling were going to pass, he could at least have waited until he wasn't packed like a sardine. It would have been more thoughtful of him, Fredericks said, if he hadn't learned of the tragedy while sandwiched "in 37B" between two strangers."
""Jason would find the workshop amazing and funny," Fredericks said, adding that he was honoring him with the "thing that I am best at - comedy." He said that being unable to poke fun would compromise his choice of profession. "My best comedy comes from true authenticity, and everything authentic isn't necessarily beaut""
Kevin Fredericks, known as KevOnStage, experienced profound loss when his brother Jason died of a heart attack in September 2022. Fredericks learned of the tragedy while on a plane, receiving the call while seated in coach in the middle seat—an ironic detail given his usual preference for luxury travel. Rather than suppress his grief, Fredericks transformed the experience into his latest one-man show titled "Grief Sucks," which explores his deep feelings about losing his brother while incorporating moments of humor, sadness, and tenderness. Fredericks believes this approach honors his brother's memory by utilizing comedy, his greatest strength, to process authentic emotion and find lighter moments within tragedy.
