featuring

Kat Simmons, inspirational comedian

Claude Roland, MD, Champlain Valley Vascular

Inspirational, hysterical and authentic, Kat Simmons receives rave reviews everywhere she performs and will sure to bring laughter to Plattsburgh.  She is a 25 year veteran of the international comedy club circuit. You may have seen her at The Improvs, Catch A Rising Star, the Comedy Channel, Fox’s Comedy Tonight, or on Candid Camera.  She is currently a regular cast member of the national comedy hit, The Three Blonde Moms.  She is also a reoccurring guest on the blog talk radio show called Thrive Teachers, helping people lighten up with her segment, Laugh It Off With Kat Simmons.  She won the eWomen Network’s international talent contest in Dallas in 2009.  She also has her own show on cable called, “Speak Up, With Kat Simmons.”

Kat has a unique talent for combining physical comedy with real life situations that everyone can relate to. She has been favorably compared to the masters of the craft, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and Red Skelton. She is one of a few physical comediennes working today. You may recognize yourself in some of her material as she honestly shares with the audience as though they were all long time friends. She delights in bringing to the stage the very things most people keep a secret.  She speaks the truth, making it easier for the rest of us to be honest with ourselves.
