Stealing the spotlight \u2014\u202ffor once \u2014 from the boomers, zoomers and avocado-loving millennials, this Gen X comedian is here to show her \u201cforgotten generation\u201d some laughter and love, delivering wry observational humor through the perceptive eye of a wife and mother, tempered with a dash of Southern charm. <\/p>\n<p>Opener: Kathy Gilmour<br \/>\nKathy recently moved back to the Boston area after living in Key West for 20 years. She was a resident comedian at Comedy Key West and has headlined at many other Key West stages. She has been chosen to perform at prestigious festivals including Boston Comedy and Hampton Beach. She has competed at the Massachusetts and New England\u2019s Funniest competitions. Her popular blog \u201cDiary of a Fathlete\u201d has been highlighted in many publications. She currently performs all over the country. A clean comic, audiences relate to her dry, and awkward take on everyday situations. Her inspiration comes from working with the general public for more than 20 years, traveling the world and mostly the clarity that comes from a good nap. She would almost always rather be home on her couch with her dog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laugh out loud with season-opening stand-up Karen Morgan, who proudly hails from an era when rocks were pets, carpets were shag and bicycle seats were bananas.
