Starting on stage in 1979 on a bet from Denis Leary, Cathe Boudreau’s name was so mangled by the Irish comedian, she completely changed it from that day forward. Her career blossomed from open mic-er, to full fledged road comic, and expanded when she studied with Mina Kolb at Second City’s training camp in Santa Monica, CA. From there, her work continued, as a producer of several comedy rooms, launching one of the only professional workout rooms available in Orange County, Ca. She graced the airwaves for years on the Pat & Mike radio show, and on several stints with a variety of stations under Premiere Networks before finally moving to Las Vegas. It was there she produced and starred in the first show for women which ever appeared in a Casino- The Ladies of Las Vegas show ran for several years before changing hands. Cathe B is the producer of Comed-o-Therapy, the stand-up benefit for the Jimmy Fund. She's also a proud performer/member of the Short Bus Comics at the Onyx Theater in Las Vegas.
