ADAMS, Mass. — The Adams Theater will welcome comedian Katherine Blanford to the stage on Saturday, Aug. 30 at 7:30pm. 

According to a press release:

Originally hailing from Kentucky, Blanford is known for her human Golden Retriever presence on stage. After racking up millions of views on her "Don't Tell Comedy" set, Blanford hit the road sharing confessions of her southern family secrets and awkward adolescent years across the country and internationally. 

She has appeared twice on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon, Vice TV's "Super Maximum Retro Show," and "After Midnight" with Taylor Tomlinson. Most recently, she was featured on Deadline's "Comedians Ready to Break Out in 2025". 

Katherine released her debut special, Catholic Cowgirl, with 800LB Gorilla Records in December 2024. Not bad for a girl whose parents are cousins.
