Kate Clinton is a faith-based, tax-paying, America-loving political humorist and family entertainer. With a career spanning over 25 years, Kate Clinton 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's twice-weekly video blog is must-see TV. Kate is like an Andrea Rooney pleasantly kvetching about the news and views of the day. But without the eyebrow problem.

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. She still prays to the Unit.

Kate writes monthly columns for The Progressive and frequent columns for The Advocate in which she waxes comical and philosophical about the state of our nation and those who have put us in such a state. She also blogs for Huffington Post, Our Chart and Olivia Connect. She has written for The New York Times and George magazine among others. Kate served as a writer on The Rosie O'Donnell Show during its rollout period in 1996.

A respected and sought-after member of the Commentariat, she has appeared on Good Morning America, Nightline, Entertainment Tonight, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The L Word and numerous news and talk shows on Comedy Central, Lifetime, LOGO, Oxygen, MSNBC, CNN, and C-Span. She hosted In The Life, and The World According To Us. Her one woman show, Talking A Blue Streak, was broadcast on hereTV! and later released as a DVD.
