New York Comedy Festival

Kate Berlant

Based in Brooklyn, Kate Berlant performs stand-up across the country and in festivals such as the Bridgetown Comedy Festival and Los Angeles' Riot Alternative Comedy Festival. She recently opened for Reggie Watts and was recently named by TimeOut New York as one of the "Three Comics to Watch." Once described as "if David Lynch did stand-up," her surrealist sets are rooted in improvisation and often leave audiences wondering what just happened to them. She runs a weekly show "Crime & Punishment" at Lower East Side staple the Cake Shop, which regularly features acts such as Janeane Garofalo and Michael Showalter.
