My name is Kathy Salerno and I’m a humor writer and performer in NYC. 

I’m a sketch writer on the UCB Theatre NY Maude Team Fambly. You can see videos I wrote and/or performed in here.

I was recently featured on the Risk! podcast telling a story The Onion AV Club called, “unexpectedly poignant” (listen here). 

My humor writing has appeared on McSweeney’s (here  and here) and Yankee Pot Roast. 

I also write and perform sketches as part of the two-person duo Kathy and Emily and in the sketch group Gentleman Caller.</description><title>KPARTYAWESOME</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @kpartyawesome)</generator><link>http://kpartyawesome.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>This song is not on Spotify, so let’s give up</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YMMlQ3TroCc?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;This song is not on Spotify, so let’s give up&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://kpartyawesome.tumblr.com/post/50833280266</link><guid>http://kpartyawesome.tumblr.com/post/50833280266</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 May 2013 13:27:37 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Do you guys remember that episode of Twin Peaks with David...</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CvLnPO9t4Wg?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you guys remember that episode of Twin Peaks with David Bowie?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes, you do. The one that takes place in an office in LA?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You KNOW, the one where he is dressed as Candace Bergen?&lt;/p&gt;

I stopped drinking. Wanna stop drinking? Watch the movie There&amp;#8217;s Something Wrong With Aunt Diane, think to yourself &amp;#8220;I could see myself driving drunk with kids in the car,&amp;#8221; get so freaked out that you never drink again. That&amp;#8217;s how I did it!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2. I read The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and it rules so hard I can legitimately say it changed my life&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;3. I started to finally believe I am awesome and now my life rules&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;4. Started enjoying eating healthier&amp;#8212;it rules now&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;5. Got to work with some awesome writers and actors at UCB and that ruled&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;6. For REAL stopped caring what other people think and that REALLY rules&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The point is it ruled.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think resolutions are kinda silly. They&amp;#8217;re just a way of saying you&amp;#8217;re aware of something you or others think you &amp;#8220;should&amp;#8221; do-and this awareness is so diffuse and global as to be impractical in helping you figure out concrete steps to take (&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m going to lose weight.&amp;#8221; Um ok but I NEED STEPS). They just seem designed to fail for that reason. I think if something is important to you, you&amp;#8217;ll do it TODAY in a manageable way or a small chunk and you&amp;#8217;ll be successful because it was concrete and meaningful to you. This is just how I feel about resolutions; maybe other people are different and find them helpful. KUDOZ.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There was a time in my life when I was a size 6 with very long compensatory body hair that grew to maintain heat and I ate12 apples in a row as a meal so I think I&amp;#8217;m doing pretty fucking well right now.

&lt;p&gt;The people who are saying that &amp;#8220;hecklers deserve what they get&amp;#8221; don&amp;#8217;t understand that feeling a lady has when she is cruising along in a room full of enlightened dudes, &amp;#8220;fellow humans,&amp;#8221; and then all of a sudden, one of these &amp;#8220;good dudes&amp;#8221; let&amp;#8217;s his mask drop and REVEALS himself to be kind of a monster who is laughing at the idea of the bald humiliation and overpowering of another human. Most men don&amp;#8217;t know the feeling a lady has when she realizes, all of a sudden, that she is not among friends. This idea of it being a &amp;#8220;real threat&amp;#8221; or not is moot. It&amp;#8217;s about knocking a person down a peg in a scary, dehumanizing way.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorry, I&amp;#8217;ve just been thinking about this for a while and I just know for a fact that America&amp;#8217;s top minds wondered how I felt about it.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://kpartyawesome.tumblr.com/post/27958704542</link><guid>http://kpartyawesome.tumblr.com/post/27958704542</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jul 2012 23:53:54 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
