Hey all, welcome to the home of all things Kristen Becker.
Becker's career started 9 years ago in Toronto and has taken her across the United States and Canada.
.
As a performer, Becker was a semifinalist on Last Comic Standing (She really thinks it's season 5, but she can't remember, she knows she was in Montreal, though) and was named one of CURVE magazine's "America's Funniest Lesbians", #8, to be exact. She has opened for Doug Stanhope, Ani DiFranco and Josh Blue, to name a few. That's right Doug Stanhope AND Ani DiFranco. Odds are if you know one of those two people, you don't know the other. Those artists are at opposite ends of the spectrum, and Becker has killed both audiences. That's range, my friend.
As a producer/performer, Becker started the Dykes Of Hazard (DOH) Comedy Tour, and three years after its inception, DOH is taking giant steps into the hetero clubs hitting venues such as the House of Blues, New Orleans and M Bar Hollywood. Can you say crossover artists? Apparently allergic to sleep, in her hometown of Buffalo, NY, in an effort to build a comedy scene, Kristen kicked off the Doin' Time Comedy Showcase, providing a stage for the artform, in a city that needed a good laugh. Three years later multiple open mic rooms have popped up across the city and The Tuesday night Showcase remains a staple in the Rust Belt.
There is alot more you should know about her, look around the site, there are some video's, some links, some nice things people have said, and most IMPORTANTLY check out upcoming gigs. You want to see her show. The girl has smarts.
