Kate McCarthy is a comedian from San Fransisco and LA and New York and Minneapolis. She is from America. She is absolutely hilarious. I'm still surprised she agreed to be on my show??? I'm so glad she did. She brought with her a topic I knew a thing or two about: 3-sibling families. It just so happens I come from one myself.
