Karen was a sellout last year and we just had to have her back!

Comedian Karen Morgan helps people laugh at life. “Her humor is wildly funny and relatable.” (Michael Tobin, Footlights Theater). Born and raised in Athens, Georgia, Karen was enjoying a promising career as a trial attorney in Atlanta when she met her husband and ended up in Maine with 3 children under the 3. This insanity propelled her into a comedy career as a Finalist on Nickelodeon Television’s “Funniest Mom in America.” Since then, she has spent far more time approaching the mic than approaching the bench. Her clean shows have made her a favorite among theater audiences around the country. Karen can also be heard on Sirius XM Radio, and her second Dry Bar Comedy, “Rub Some Dirt On It,” will be released this summer.
