Kathryn Gongaware is a comedian, writer, and relative hypocrite. She’s known for sharp observations, an unfortunate amount of self-awareness, and uniquely wild stories, many of which stem from teaching yoga in Cook County Jail. Kathryn splits time between Chicago, jail, and the road, where she regularly opens for your headliner, Vik Pandya. She has also opened for Mo Amer, Michael Palascak, Cipha Sounds, and other (inter)national favorites, while writing scripts, filming shorts, and losing innumerable games of pool. She’s been featured at clubs and festivals throughout the country, including The Comedy Cellar in NYC, The Laugh Factory and Second City in Chicago, and at Madison Comedy Week. Catch her on social @kathryngong, where her mother suggests she is “undoing the work of generations of women before her”. (Alright, Diane.)
