Kara Kinsey (Performer/Writer)Kara Kinsey is a Chicago based entertainer, comedian, writer, and film maker with more talents then she knows what to do with. Honestly, if she had a lick of sense she would have focused her energies but GOD does she love too much.
This Louisiana native, and obsess-er of aggressive female forward narratives has 8 years of comedy experience across many cities and outfits that show arguably too much cleavage.
Kara Kinsey is a comedic force of an indoor possum, for good or for evil you decide.

When she's not writing and performing, you can catch her at the thrift store, tending to her plants, beating her friends to a pulp at Mario Kart, and hanging out with her dog.
