Current Work
Kate has just published her second book of essays, What the L?, a laugh-out-loud collection of dangerous humor about life in the U.S. under the presidency of George W. Bush.
Kate's much anticipated seventh comedy CD, The Marrying Kind, is a wild, free-associating, dot-connecting romp through presidential selections, stem and terrorist cells, The Fox of War, Patriot action, Homeland Insecurity, the Axis of Medievals, Mad Vow Disease and Bush Free Daze.
Kate Clinton tours extensively. You can see the list of her upcoming dates in the Kate's Dates section of her website at: www.KateClinton.com. |
