Where Are You REALLY From - Cathy Boyd

Welcome to my #podcast Where Are You REALLY From. Every week I'll have another guest from around the world that probably got this question before (REALLY...) if it's because his color of the skin, his accent, his outfit or just his special energies. Everything you wanted to know about other people's cultures, experiences or just funny stories. Yes, we are ALL comedians. And people of the world. My guest today is Cathy Boyd!!! The stand-up bug bit Cathy late in life but some might say that gives her an edge. After completing the writing course at Second City, Cathy tagged along with a friend to try her hand at stand-up comedy and the rest as they say, is history. She quickly made a name for herself in and around Toronto, London and Ottawa, Ontario, Montreal, Quebec and Saint John, New Brunswick. She found herself headlining at the Maine Comedy Festival in September of 2017 and performed at the Portland, Maine Comedy Festival in July, 2018. Cathy was 1 of 5 finalists in the 4th Annual Absolute Comedy Prove You’re a Comic Competition. She is also the producer of C’est La Vie, a monthly comedy show here in Toronto and can be heard on Sirius XM Radio, Canada Laughs at Alt Dot Comedy. Cathy was invited to appear at The Best of Absolute Comedy in September, 2018, as part of Toronto’s annual comedy festival, JFL42 and showcased for the 2019 Winnipeg Comedy Festival. Cathy started 2019 off by competing and finishing in first place in the Comedian of the North Competition held annually in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Currently, she is an Absolute Comedy roster member and a contributing writer for Femke Magazine. When not performing stand-up, Cathy would like you to know she is a mediocre tennis player and the loving mother of four, who readily admits, three would have been good. She’d have been good with three. Listen, Love and Laugh, Yael Gavish
