NEW YORK – Katie Compa’s sophomore comedy special and album ‘Incurable Optimist’ is out
today via Little Lamb Recordings. The special is available on Katie’s YouTube channel and the
album is available on all streaming audio platforms.
In her own words, Katie shares: “‘Incurable Optimist’ is my second album to be recorded and
released under a Trump regime, and this time, I’m really exercising my right to free speech while I
still can.”
Recorded live in the jewel-box cabaret room tucked behind Pangea NYC, ‘Incurable Optimist’ is an
intimate special and digital album delivering razor-sharp, tell-it-like-it-is commentary on the current
political dumpster fire, seamlessly integrated with hilarious personal anecdotes. Compa’s delightful
misanthropy and signature angry joy carry the hour as she tackles everything from being child-free in
her 40s, her rejection of fame, and an unforgettable story involving an ex and a Swedish prison
sentence. The result is an album that is cleaner than her debut, but not by much. Directed and
edited by Patrick Holbert.
This release follows Katie’s 2019 debut album ‘Hard Pass,’ which reached #1 on the iTunes Comedy
Chart, followed shortly after by a pandemic that effectively shut down standup comedy. Katie
considered making a clean break, but once comedy came back, she discovered she was quite
literally unable to stay offstage—she simply had too much to say.
Runtime: approx 60 minutes
ABOUT KATIE COMPA
Katie Compa developed a biting sense of humor as a defense mechanism growing up in Maryland
(outside Washington, DC), and uses it to write and perform standup comedy. Katie cut her teeth in
the Bay Area comedy scene and is now based in New York City. Her debut album HARD PASS
came out in September 2019 and hit #1 on the iTunes Comedy Chart, and her sophomore effort,
INCURABLE OPTIMIST, is due out April 30. Equal parts sassy, smart, and sarcastic, Katie cracks up
audiences worldwide.
