Katie Compa

Katie Compa developed a biting sense of humor as a defense mechanism growing up in Maryland (outside Washington, DC), and uses it to write and perform standup comedy.

Katie cut her teeth in the Bay Area comedy scene and is based in New York City. Her debut album HARD PASS came out in September 2019 and hit #1 on the iTunes Comedy Chart. Equal parts sassy, smart, and sarcastic, Katie cracks up audiences worldwide.
