Award-Winning Comedian, Musician & Author; Self Help Guru; Known for Teaching Stand-Up Comedy as a Coping Mechanism
Katie Goodman Biography
Katie Goodman is an award-winning comedian, author and international speaker. Goodman's work in comedy has amassed over three million online views. She can be seen on Showtime, "Impractical Jokers," and, more often than she would admit, in line getting a mocha latte with extra, extra whipped cream. Goodman literally wrote the book on using improv comedy to improve your life. Her show "Broad Comedy" plays Off Broadway and tours nationally. Her love for self-help and comedy lands her career somewhere in between Tina Fey and Oprah. Her work has been celebrated by Comedy Central, Time Out New York, and her Pilates teacher in Brooklyn who says she is "getting better."
Goodman holds a degree in philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania, and was nominated for the MacArthur Genius Grant for her work in theater. She got beat out by the astrophysicist who discovered the multiphase liquid behavior of nuclei, but better luck next time!
Goodman is an Ambassador for Shelterbox, an international disaster relief organization that provides shelter for displaced people and refugees internationally, as well as the founder and director of Camp Equinox, a Montana-based theater camp that has hosted over 300 kids annually for the past 30 years. With over 20 years of experience with training and speaking, she has taught over 40,000 people how to use the tools of improv comedy in their lives to handle absolutely anything, and to be more creative, courageous, and confident.
When she's not at home in New York City, Goodman can be found traveling the country for speaking events, comedy shows, and corporate workshops and trainings, teaching participants how to thrive at handling anything that comes their way.
