The Dorchester Debutante, Laura Severse
Laura Severse is a native Boston comic, actor, and writer. She is a devoted wife, working
mother of two, and a gifted storyteller. Laura brings her hard-working, heartfelt approach to life
to stages across the country. Laura’s attitude is equal parts bold, brash, kind, and gentle but
always funny. She finds humor in everything from climbing the corporate ladder to the trials and
tribulations of raising two young children in the heart of a changing city in the midst of a
changing world. Audiences have no choice but to be swept up in the joy, pathos, and sheer
excitement of a city kid who’s seen it all and can’t wait for more. She is a true Dorchester
Debutante with a killer accent and a lifelong addiction to gold hoops, the bigger the better.

Kathe Farris
Kathe Farris is a Boston-based stay-at-home mom, stand-up comedian and snack cake
enthusiast. She hit the comedy scene a little late in life but quickly made up for it by becoming a
Comic in Residence at The Comedy Studio and a finalist in the Boston Comedy Festival. She is
a fixture on local stages in New England thanks to her intelligent yet accessible material. In
2019 ImprovBoston gave Kathe a weekly show where she performs featured length sets
alongside a mix of new and seasoned comedians called Farris and Friends Comedy Hour.
Kathe performs regularly for private and corporate events and sometimes a suburban middle
school…sometimes!. Known for her understated demeanor and punchline-heavy writing, her act
impresses audiences all over the country. She has showcased at Gildafest, Ladies of Laughter
