Kathryn Gongaware

Kathryn Gongaware

Kathryn Gongaware is a comedian, writer, actress, and relative hypocrite. She's known for her fierce honesty, distinct race takes, and an unfortunate amount of self-awareness, most (all) of which stem from teaching yoga in Cook County Jail.


Kathryn has headlined The Laugh Factory, featured at Zanies, and has performed at clubs all over the country, including DC Improv, The Comedy Cellar, and The Comedy Store. She's opened for Jourdain Fisher, Irene Tu, Cipha Sounds, and Michael Palascak, all while writing scripts, filming shorts, and losing innumerous games of pool. She produces Sofar Sounds Comedy for Chicago, and is the co-creator and co-host of Beyond Bars, a podcast highlighting people impacted by the criminal "justice" system.
Her first special with LMAOF Comedy will be released in January 2025.
