An Evening with Kate Clinton at Parker Playhouse

"Quick-witted, clear-spoken... She has developed a bizarrely logical, seemingly free-associating style of delivery [and] had this critic in tears from laughing so hard." - The New York Times

"Her new show is magnificent... " - Tony Kushner

Stonewall National Museum & Archives is proud to present legendary comedian Kate Clinton for its next "Our Stars" event. Kate Clinton is a faith-based, tax-paying, America-loving political humorist and family entertainer. With a career spanning 30 years, Kate Clinton has worked through economic booms and busts, Disneyfication and Walmartization, gay movements and gay markets, lesbian chic and queer eyes and eight presidential inaugurals. She still believes that humor gets us through peacetime, wartime, scoundrel time and economic down times.

One of the first out gay comedians in the US, Kate Clinton 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.
