Becca Brown hosted the first comedy show at Revolution Brewery on Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago. Rad line up, rad folks, loads of rad beer. (You know, that's their jam.)

Wendy Mateo hosted The Take Action: #BlackLivesMatter show at The Playground Theater. Amazing stories, laughs, love, and message of ACTION!

the kates were joke jammin' last Friday at The Book Cellar in Lincoln Square AND were giving away sweet Ghostbuster merch to a few lucky audience members. Who you gonna call? Um, funny ladies. DER!

the kates turned nine years old and we had our first collaboration show with The Comedy Bowl at Diversey River Bowl. Most of the pics by Alexandra Tsarpalas. Loads of comedy, cake, dancing, goodie bags, lip synch...holy cow...some many kates! (But we missed Elizabeth Gomez!)

Patrick, Rachel and Curtis were cool enough to let Scott Duff and I swing by the Laugh Factory and yell into a camera for a few hours. Be on the look out for some loud the kates on broadway and ChiGAYgo promo videos, coming soon!

The first You Joke Like a Girl open mic and showcase at Volumes Book Cafe was a dang blast! So many Fem Com grads in the house.

My super cool sister took most of these pics, which was very nice of her. However, I forgot to tell her that the site doesn't love "hot dog" style photos. I kept them anyway, sorry for the wonkiness!

Another year, another rad CWFF at Stage 773. So many great performers and hey, thanks for having the kates on the line up!  Oh so many Fem Com grads doing stand-up.  It was really dope to be apart of.
