A musical standup comedian with appearances on Last Comic Standing and NBC’s Bring On the Funny. Kristin has six full-length comedy albums and her own Dry Bar Comedy Special. Kristin grew up a minister’s daughter in a small town in West Texas. Much like Footloose, she was raised in a no-drinking, no-dancing, no instrumental music environment, so she immediately took up drinking, dancing and playing an instrument. Proving that the almighty has a strange sense of humor, Kristin came out of the closet at age 15. Needless to say, it did not go well. Kristin decided to “take it back”, retreating back into the closet, and trying a little harder to be straight. In college to become a paramedic she signed up for an open mic night at a local comedy club. As soon as she got on the stage, she felt right at home. Small shows in the Texas panhandle eventually turned into 35 states worth of comedy over the next 5 years. When Last Comic Standing held their auditions in Austin, Texas, Key stood in line hoping for a chance to be seen. After a 7 hour wait, she got that chance as well as her ticket to Hollywood to compete with the best in the comedy world. At the end of the season, she stood among the final six and watched as her fan base exploded. With validation from millions of comedy fans, Kristin moved to L.A. and began preparing a new act to take on the road. While participating in an anti-bullying fundraiser, she broke her silence and decided to share her hilarious story of coming out, taking it back, living in the closet, and meeting her wife. After 15 years of comedy, Kristin has found a way to perfectly blend her thought provoking true stories and her original songs with outrageous off-the-cuff improv moments, ensuring that no two shows are the same. Her social media videos have over 25 million views and Kristin has over 275,00 followers. She hosts the Kristin Knows Blank podcast.
