Katie Goodman

Katie's work in comedy has amassed over 3 million online views. She can be seen on Showtime, TruTV, and, more often than she would admit, in line getting a mocha latte with extra, extra whipped cream. Katie literally wrote the book on using improv comedy to improve your life. (No, seriously, it's called "Improvisation For The Spirit" — look it up!) Her show "Broad Comedy" plays Off Broadway. Her mix of her love of self-help and comedy lands her career somewhere in between Samantha Bee and Deepak Chopra. Her work has been celebrated by Arianna Huffington, Leslie Stahl, Time Out New York, and her Pilates teacher in Brooklyn who says she is "getting better." Besides her own book, Katie's writing can be seen In O Magazine and The Huffington Post. Katie holds a degree in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania, and was nominated for the MacArthur Genius Grant for her work in theater. She got beat out by the astrophysicist who discovered the multiphase liquid behavior of nuclei, but better luck next time. Through her training and speaking, Katie has taught over 10,000 people how to use the tools of improv comedy in their lives to handle absolutely anything, be more creative and courageous, and confident. When she's not at home in New York City, Katie can be found traveling the country for speaking events, comedy shows, "Improvisation for Life" retreats, Certification Program training, and workshops.
