Event
Karen Williams LIVE!
Join us for an evening with legendary comic, Karen Williams! She has been featured in LOGO and HBO, headlined Olivia Cruises, and was featured in the Laughing Matters documentary alongside with Kate Clinton and Suzanne Westenhoefer.
Featured in the award-winning comedy/documentary "We're Funny That Way," she's shown regularly on HBO and was a nominee for the 1999 GLAMA Award for her outrageously funny comedy CD, "human beings: what a concept" (Uproar Records). As a solo entertainer, Karen Williams delights audiences from San Francisco to South Beach to Sydney. Her most recent work includes a special on LOGO - "I need a Snack."
As a single lesbian mom living in Berkeley in the 1980s, Karen Williams started doing stand-up comedy because it was something I could do that didn't cost anything. Known for her quick repartee, insightful commentary and audience rapport, Williams is a comic craftmaster, a gifted actor, a multitalented writer, and an inspirational lecturer. Armed with her "heal with humor" philosophy, she gives humor workshops specifically designed to build self-awareness and self-confidence, and to encourage tolerance and respect for the dignity of human life.
She's worked as a comedy writer and is the former television host of the New York variety show "In the Life." Williams' humor writings appear in numerous anthologies, including "Joke Stew" (Andrews McMeel Publishing); Revolutionary Laughter" (Crossing Press); "Out in All Directions" (Warner Books); and "Out, Loud & Laughing" (Random House).
Karen lives in Cleveland, Ohio, the proud mother of three sons.
The event is a benefit for gay and transgender causes in southeastern Wisconsin and domestic violence programs.
Sponsored by: Clark Graphics, WMSE 91.7 FM, WUWM 89.7 FM, CitiGal Magazine, HaHA Institute, and Cream City Foundation.
