As a professional comedian with almost 10 years experience, I always think about the audience first. My comedic style is bold while always being fun! I can do corporate clean and share tales about my old office hijinks, or I can do Bachelorette parties and share all my worst dating storeis and everything in between. I'm diverse, friendly, relatable, and here to entertain!!
Catherine was hilarious and we enjoyed having her at our event.
Cathryn was hired for our zoom comedy night and did amazing making all our attendees laugh! She opened up the show for us and did a great job getting everyone engaged! Highly recommend!
Cathryn was an absolute dream to work with. We asked her to do a comedy performance virtually for our annual Conference for 6000 library professionals. She provided us footage, plus additional jokes to cut in if there was anything we didn't like. We have a great turnout on line with people put comments in the chat and it was really well received. Kudos to Cathryn for making this format work with the timing etc. She was a total professional and would love to work with her again when we are live at events. Thank you Cathryn for being so awesome.
