Karen Hanover Performs at the Hollywood Comedy Store

Karen Hanover performs at the Comedy Store in Hollywood, CA, July 10, 2013.  Hanover made her stand-up comedy debut at the famous Hollywood Improv in June 2013 and was approached by a recruiter for The Comedy Store as she left the stage after her routine. “I was shocked to say the least” said Hanover. 

Now Hanover is being at clubs across the country and is in talks to appear on Comedy Central and other TV venues.

Her light-hearted, mostly clean, sense of humor about being middle-aged and dating had the audience roaring at the Improv.  Karen Hanover has enjoyed a lucrative career as an author and public speaker and has moved into television and comedy.  Her new talk show, Who Am I to Talk debuts in first round syndication this fall.

“To me comedy is much more difficult than delivering a presentation as a public speaker which is my background.  In comedy you have to deliver your presentation with pizazz.  From your facial expressions to every little body movement to the timing and delivery, there is much more that goes into comedy as you consistently try to seduce laughter from the audience.  But I’ve always been a goof-ball.  Once I got those first few laughs, I was addicted.” said Hanover.

Hanover is in good company as many big-name headliners have performed here when they were just starting out including Jay Leno, David Letterman, Tim Allen, Rodney Dangerfield, Roseanne Barr, George Carlin, Jim Carrey, Billy Crystal, Steve Martin, Howie Mandel, Kathy Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg, Eddie Murphy, Paul Rodriguez, Ben Stiller, Sarah Silverman, Robin Williams and more.

Additionally, Karen Hanover is the Executive Producer of several TV shows for syndication including a game show, entertainment news show, cooking show called The Gourmaniac, travel show and even a Saturday morning kids show.  Hanover is also co-writing a made-for-televsion, drama, about the United States justice and prison systems.
