Growing up an ugly duckling outside Washington, D.C., Katie Compa developed a biting sense of humor as a highly effective defense mechanism. Now, she uses it to write and perform comedy.

Equal parts sassy, smart, and sarcastic, Katie’s mile-a-minute delivery and critical, reasoned point of view crack up audiences worldwide. Katie cut her teeth in the Bay Area comedy scene, and is now based in New York City. She has been featured in the San Francisco SketchFest and (don’t tell her mom) on HighTimes.com.

Hang out with Katie on two podcasts, Kid/Life Crisis and The Shade Of It All, two monthly NYC shows, Happy Place Comedy and Dudes Being Dudes Being Dudes, or on Twitter / Facebook / Instagram along with everybody else.
