Kathryn Gongaware is an overeducated and under-focused comedian, writer and hypocrite. By day, she teaches yoga at Chicago’s Cook County Jail. On stage, she’s known for dry wit, an unfortunate amount of self-awareness, and race takes that won’t ruin your night.
Kathryn is a paid regular at The Laugh Factory, Zanies, and The Lincoln Lodge Theater and has featured for Rosebud Baker, Beth Stelling, Kevin Bozeman. She produces Sofar Sounds Comedy and Beyond Bars, a podcast amplifying stories around the criminal “justice” system.
Her first mini special dropped with LMAOF Comedy last year alongside her funded web series, Not Flexible. Between sets and scripts she can also be found maintaining her perfect losing streak at pool.
