He is perhaps best known for being the winner of The Great American Comedy Festival, based out ofNorfolk, Nebraska.[1] Similar to other comics, likeBrian Regan orEddie Brill, Apio refrains fromoff-color humor, instead relying on observational comedy, sarcasm, and satire. Because of this, he has gained even more recognition for being a family friendly comic.

After graduating high school, Apio moved to Seattle, Washington, which would later become his home.

He has also appeared on channels such as A&E, and PBS. Apio has released his own CD, titledUnarmed and Lethargic.[1]
