Featuring: Kim Wadsworth
Born and raised in the Lone-star State of Texas, one could argue that Kim Wadsworth's comedy career first began when she was voted the Class Clown of Alvarado High School. Since officially diving into stand-up comedy, she has performed at clubs and festivals all over the country.
A proud Air Force veteran and mother, Kim is a powerful voice within the LGBTQIA+ community. Her unique experiences, whimsical wordplay, and likable stage presence have led her to win many comedy competitions over the years. Her debut album, "No Contest" is streaming on all platforms. Kim waited a lifetime to step in front of the microphone. She was busy living...she joined the United States Air Force, traveled, and raised a son. But something was missing: comedy.
Kim isn’t one to conform to anyone else's standards. She is anything but conventional. With her Texas accent, bleached Mohawk, and multiple ear-piercings she swaggers into the spotlight with a charming, "Hi, Y'all!" And thus begins the conversation that has audiences wanting more.
Winner of the 2023 U.S. Comedy Contest Headliner Category (Zoom Edition) and Night Owls (February 2021) at Looney Bin Comedy Club, she has also appeared at the Women in Comedy Festival in Boston, Dallas Comedy Festival, She Rock Festival, Pensacola Pre-Pride Comedy Festival, Laugh Riot GRRRL Comedy Festival in Los Angeles, Burbank Comedy Festival, the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas-2021, 2022, and 2023, Midwest Queer Comedy Festival in Cleveland, OH, Boston Comedy Festival, The U.S. Comedy Contest 2021-2023, Blue Whale Comedy Festival in Tulsa, OK, LGBTLOL Comedy Festival in New Orleans, Tower City Comedy Festival in Paris, TX, and Flagship City Comedy Festival in Erie, PA.

She has performed at some of the top clubs in Texas, California, Boston, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Atlanta, Phoenix, Florida, South Carolina, Colorado, Arkansas, and Nevada. She plans to tour all over the United States and beyond.
With appearances at Flapper's Comedy Club, Addison Improv, Arlington Improv, The Comedy Arena, House of Comedy, and many clubs across the country, Kim has been able to hone her craft. Her playful and lighthearted "poke" at life's little mishaps endears her to all types of audiences.
She finds funny wherever she goes, or, more importantly, funny finds her. She believes that comedy has no boundaries or borders. So, buckle up for a wild ride, as she navigates and embraces all the marks life leaves behind. You won’t regret it.

He is anything but boring.
