March Trivia Contest: Win "The Marrying Kind"!
Take a shot at winning a free copy of Kate's 7th comedy collection CD The Marrying Kind! The first person to email us with the correct answer to the following trivia question gets the CD. Without further ado: How many siblings does Kate have?
The answer to last month's trivia question, "What is Kate's full name?" is Katherine Ann Marie Clinton. Theresa, Ann, Arlene, Beth, Barbara, Heidi and Penny all gave it a shot, and though no one hit the nail on the head (that was a tough one), they all got a free CD for trying. Congrats y'all, and thanks for playing!
Have some friends or family who might want to enter next month's contest? Make sure they're signed up too!

Fan Spotlight
Send Kate a letter or a photo -- we're always posting new fan photos on the site and Kate loves to hear from you.
Jim Hoover, Provincetown
"I just wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to laugh at cancer. I've been fighting terminal cancer for three years and the opportunity for laughter is rare indeed. Yes, people say dumb things -- ignorant, ill-conceived & downright stupid.
"Like your partner, I've got 'Type-A' cancer, but I'm also a 'Type-A' fighter -- or I'm just too stubborn to follow statistics. I pray for her continued health and thank you again for putting some humor to go with all the tears cancer can bring."

"I just saw Kate again recently in Somerville, MA for her 25th anniversary show and continue to attend her shows when they are local. This picture is of me, Cheryl Kiras, Kate and my partner, Deb Shaw at the Queer comedy show at University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth.
"Last summer Deb and I met Kate and Urvashi on Commercial Street in Provincetown in front of Spiritus pizza. I am a big fan and was totally excited, starstruck and shy... Kate told me the story of how nervous she was when she met Lilly Tomlin the first time; she stepped into her bag and kept walking... hysterical!!! "
