Kathrine “Kat” Howard’s greatest happiness came in hearing her audience’s laughter.
Kat performed at the Comedy Club in The Rivera in Las Vegas, the Improv in Los Angeles and Irvine, then she moved on to Ohio, opening for Margaret Cho at The Ice House in Pasadena. She continued with regular shows at Hamburger Mary’s in Long Beach, and at the grand openings of Hamburger Mary’s in Phoenix, Arizona and Washington D.C.
She could always be counted on for benefits for her 12-step program. She filled the Warner Grand Theatre, and set a new higher bar or benefit for House of Hope.
Kat was generous and loyal to her friends, who in turn returned that generosity and loyalty. She loved animals, and always had at least one dog. She leaves behind Sparky, now with his Grandma, Lea.
In her final days, Kat’s love and caring resulted in a tremendous outpouring of love and support from her many friends and neighbors both to her and to her mother. Kat was able to recognize everyone, and talk to them.
