Kay Dodd shares how she hit the reset button on her career after she decided “clean” was the way to go. Early in her journey she worked with Jeff Foxworthy on a few dates and he encouraged her to have a clean act. It took tossing out the old show and starting anew. Lucky for us, she is every bit as funny and able to perform anywhere with her current show.
Kay Dodd Show Notes
We talk about a variety of things including:
- Discovering the Christian Comedy Association thanks to a friend’s email

- Getting her foot in the door at the Punchline and other clubs
- Working for Aubrey Pippin at The Comedy House Theater in the 90’s
- How CHT would “rate the audience” and why
- Setting up a Quarterly Fundraiser
And a whole lot more!
