Kathryn Gongaware

Kathryn is a comedian, writer, actress, and relative hypocrite. She's known for her unique stories, race takes, and an unfortunate amount of self-awareness, most (all) of which stem from teaching yoga in Cook County Jail. Kathryn splits time between Chicago, jail, and the road, where she's opened for Jourdain Fisher, Andy Hendrickson, Michael Palascak, and Cipha Sounds, while writing scripts, filming shorts, and losing innumerous games of pool. Catch her in Chicago at Laugh Factory, Zanies, Second City, and throughout @kathryngong, where her mother suggests she is "undoing the work of generations of women before her". (Alright, Diane.)
