Overview

Cathy is a70 year old barely standing stand up comedian. Cathy likes to interact with the audience, and when performing for private parties she likes to mingle with the guests doing one-to-one humor, as well as standing up in front of a group. Cathy wants to be part of the party and the life of the party! Cathy's rates vary according to how much time she will be hired to do, how far away the gig is and the dress code, i.e. black-tie gigs will be more expensive. Cathy Perkins is a poet, too, and performs comedic poetry, aka, Cometry. She performs live and online. You can find her @wackycathymackey and Cathy Comedie@cathyscomedy and (link hidden) & YouTube

What to expect

Cathy is sometimes blue, but she tries not to swear, but sometimes passion alters all her good intentions. She stays away from political, religious and racial material/subjects, unless asked. Cathy is a poet, as well, and often her performances include original limericks. Her love of language arises in her sets as she enjoys making fun of how people use certain words and phrases. She can perform 5 minutes of totally clean material, but prefers performing with few restrictions.

Additional booking notes

I own my own small portable sound system that is fine for a small, 600Sq. ft. area, such as home, backyards, small bars. I have access to sound system and lighting people for additional cost. I can find venues too, if you need help with a place for your party. In fact, I can help set up a comedy show or a poetry reading and host/emcee as well. I cannot record the event or do hybrid, live and online events, but I have people who can do that. Their fee would be separate to mine or added on after I am hired.
