Joel Kim Booster was adopted at birth by American parents.
However, their name has not yet been disclosed to the public as of now.
It appears that his dad was a big Red Green fan growing up. His mom was the one who introduced him to Madeline Kahn. According to him, his parents are not very supportive when it comes to comedy all though they seemed to like it. They are not unsupportive either because they looked happy when he had a steady day job.
Additionally, although he knew he was gay from his childhood, he had kept it a secret. While he was in high school, his parents found out he was gay by reading his diary where he had described his sexual encounters with other boys.
