Beginning her "career" in New York City circa 1996, she performed at Stand-Up New York, Gotham Comedy Club and Ron Poole’s Pool Party at Don’t Tell Mama’s. After a 5 years of delusion in the advertising industry, she returned to the stage with murderous glee in 2006 in a dump in Buffalo, NY. She received "Special Mention" in Yuk Yuk’s 2008 Great Canadian Laugh-Off and everyone in Canada is in love with her. She enjoys birdwatching,baking and various semi-violent pursuits.
Recent bookings include the Comdeyworks (Montreal), Yuk Yuk’s (Toronto), The Rivoli (Toronto) Comix Cafe (Buffalo) and SUNY @ Buffalo’s Center for the Arts as opening act for Craig Ferguson.

Opening act Kate Anderson (is) too damn funny. The Buffalo State alumna’s all-too-short act was jampacked with dry, deliberately awkward witticisms like, “Half the women I work with are pregnant. It’s like walking through a high school.”
And in the line of fellow sarcasm masters like Norm Macdonald, the best moments of Anderson’s set came after jokes that bombed. Instead of rushing into her next bit, she’d let the silence lie for a second, shuffle her feet and say things like, “Oh. I guess that was kinda sick, huh?”
My mom sent my Christmas present up with a friend today who was braving the drive up here. Thank you tons!!! Trying to fight with my wii and set it up now >:)!
