entertainer. She has worked through economic booms and busts, Disneyfication
and Walmartization, gay movements and gay markets, lesbian chic and queer
eyes, and ten presidential inaugurals. She still believes that humor gets us
through peacetime, wartime and scoundrel time. Kate has performed nationally since 1981 from Joe's Pub in New York City to the Park West in Chicago to the Herbst Theater in San Francisco, and back to New York for several off-Broadway runs, with hundreds of comedy club dates in between. She has been featured at comedy festivals including Just for Laughs in Montreal, the Toyota Comedy Festival in New York, and Marshall's Women in Comedy Festival. She has come a long way from those first performances in Unitarian Church basements.
Kate has been volunteer emcee for hundreds of fundraising dinners and events which have raised millions of dollars for The National Center for Lesbian Rights, the Ms. Foundation, the New York City LGBT Community Center, the Gina Gibney Dance Company to name a few. In 1999 she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Previous recipients included Coretta Scott King, Edward Kennedy and Jocelyn Elders. She was listed in the New York Magazine's Year 2001 "Gay Power 101."
Her two decades plus of material are on record in her six comedy albums including Babes in Joyland, Comedy You Can Dance To and Read These Lips.
