VOTED BEST COMEDY SHOW
IN FRONT OF A MAGAZINE RACK 

Chicago magazine - top literary salons

---

"Attending a Kates show doesn’t feel the same as a regular stand-up show. There’s an overall sense of positivity and warmth partially owing to the visible real-life friendship shared among the comics, and partially because the kates seem to be inviting you to join them. They have a vulnerability that quickly turns into a camaraderie with the audience. After a comic’s successful set, audience members feel empowered."
