Kate Clinton
A writer, teacher, performer, and activist, Kate Clinton responds to the treacherous question, “What do you do for a living?” with her trademark humor. Says Clinton, “Never tell the man who is performing colon surgery on you [you are a comic] because they won’t put you all the way out. They’ll tell you every funny colon story they can think of.” The recipient of GLAAD’s 2007 Pioneer Award, Clinton has two books, a slew of articles and essays, and monthly columns in The Progressive and The Advocate, in addition to 25 years of experience as an entertainer on her resume. Despite the provocative content of her work, Clinton insists that she is a “family entertainer,” adding, “It depends on the family.” Clinton packs her bags this summer for her 2007 tour, Climate Change. –SD
