Karen has done it all from shows at comedy clubs to guest appearances on TV shows, and she provides insight about what it has been like as a woman in the male dominated field of stand up. Karen's is a story of persistence, wisdom, and a divine sense of humor, and we're so excited to be sharing this story with you.

As we continue to interview more fabulous women, we were thrilled to have Comedian and Author Karen Bergreen. NYC born and bred, with a Harvard undergraduate and University of Minnesota law degrees, Karen is one of the most sought out Emcees in NYC. We talked about what made her decide to follow the underground world of stand-up comedy, after having clerked for a Judge in the above ground world and how getting married, having kids-one looking at colleges-has changed her life and act. Somehow Karen found time to author two books "Following Polly" and "Perfect is Overrated" and is currently working on a 3rd novel. for more on Karen go to: https://www.karenbergreen.com/

There are local comedy clubs, the Edinburgh Fringe, YouTube, comedy series and Hollywood movies – however you like your comedy served up, there is probably a source catering to your taste. “Still some key challenges…for all but the very top tier of acts to make a living…comedy has always lingered slightly in music's shadow in terms of new media – lagging behind embracing digital platforms.” (Sarah Henley, co-founder of NextUp, www.tvbeurope.com/features/what-impact-might-technology-have-on-comedy We'll ask Eddie Sarfaty, Lori Hammel, Peter Michael Marino and Karen Bergreen for their take on “What's So Funny?!?

If you’ve been following me on Instagram or get my newsletter, you might know that I recently took stand up comedy classes here in NYC at Manhattan Comedy School. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. It scared the heck out of me...so naturally, I had to try it. My next performance is TONIGHT at Gotham Comedy Club at 7pm, actually.  And so I thought who better to have on So Money today than my comedy school teacher, comic Karen Bergreen. Over the past decade, Karen has been keeping audiences laughing all across the country. She’s been on Comedy Central, the Oxygen Network, VH1, The View, and LIVE at Gotham. She’s also an author of two fiction books, Perfect is Overrated and Following Polly: A Novel. She and I talk about the highs and lows of being a female stand up comic, growing up in New York City when people *didn’t* want to be labeled as “rich.”..and  Karen’s transition to comedy...She graduated from Harvard, and went on to law school. How and why she pivoted is where we begin the conversation... To learn more about Karen, visit KarenBergreen.com or find her on Twitter @KarenBergreen.
