“Goodman, a multi-talented singer and musician with a sharp line in political satire and a voice that can send goose-bumps up your spine or make the light fittings rattle, has a cult following in the US and on YouTube. She rips through songs in a variety of styles, from rap through country to Italian opera, she skewers religion, homophobia, MILFs, the GOP and her own midlife crisis with a merciless eye and a filthy mouth.”
“On par not just with any woman in modern comedy, not just with any music act in modern comedy, but categorically on par with anyone working the current comedy scene... Impressive. ...Magnificent.”
Katie, and You…
IT ALL STARTED when your friend sent you Katie’s YouTube hit “I Didn’t F*ck It Up.”
FIRST you binge-watched the rest of her videos while at work. Many of them were NSFW, but it's a risk you had to take.
THEN you caught her solo show in New York City. Your best friend got a little too drunk but the show was amazing.
NEXT you hired her to perform at your non-profit’s fundraiser. The Executive Director rebooked her for the following year before the show was even over.
THEN you watched one of her web series. Then another.
NEXT you hired her for your new sitcom, playing the quirky-but-attractive best friend to the main character.
THEN after a successful first year in the role, the studio offered her a spin-off, though you objected to the title “She's So Katie!”
NEXT you helmed her campaign for Mayor of New York, claiming credit for the slogan “She's So Katie!”
BEFORE she was able to step in as Mayor, however, she was picked to head the United Nations Women’s Commission, a position for which she’s a shoe-in for next year’s Nobel Peace Prize.
NOW she won’t even bother to RSVP for your holiday party anymore. Some people.
“Exuberant! Colossal entertainment value, induced by the joyously vulgar, smart writing and skillfully executed showmanship. Katie Goodman is a multi-talented, femme-extraordinaire!”
“The incredible Katie Goodman had the audience screaming.”
“Bottom line: Katie is funny!”
“A spectacular, memorable solo show! Effervescent, smart... Delightful, clever parodies and vulnerable, a likable personality.”
“I have a real soft spot in my heart for female comedians. But that soft spot gets Charmin Ultra best-wipe-your-butt’s-ever-had-soft when I find female comedians who manage to make feminist and human rights issues funny. Which means Katie Goodman is currently lounging in my heart, wrapped up in a Snuggie and sitting on a bed of super-soft toilet paper.”
“I see thousands of comedians every year and Katie Goodman can hold her own not just as a feminist political comedian who calls out the powers that be, but also just simply as one hell of a funny woman who ups the ante of how funny women comedians can be.”
“If Steve Martin and Oprah Winfrey had a baby and hired Tina Fey to raise it, you might get someone as bright, funny, insightful and inspiring as Katie Goodman.”
“Like a female Tim Minchin— with a dirtier mind (yes it’s possible)”
