Cathy has had her own HBO "One Night Stand" comedy special and, in 1992, was awarded the American Comedy Award for Best Female Stand Up Comic.

Her film credits include roles in "White Oleander," "What Planet Are You From?" "My Fellow Americans," and "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead." Her television pilots include "Caroline in the City," in which she had a recurring role, "Next Exit," "Carlos," "American Nuclear," and "Hot Prospects." She appeared regularly on ABC's "Politically Incorrect" and, when it was in production, Comedy Central's "Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist." She has guest starred on Fox's "Titus" and CBS's "Everybody Loves Raymond."

Besides comedy monologue, her writing career includes developing original television treatments, episodic scripts, and feature-length screenplays. She spent seasons writing on "The Caroline Rhea Show", "The Wayne Brady Show", "Caroline in the City", and "Roseanne". She recently wrote on the pilot episode of Bravo's, "Situation Comedy."

In addition to stand-up, TV, and film, she has been doing more live theatre. She is currently in the 25th Anniversary Production of "Last Summer at Bluefish Cove." She developed her show, "Scaredypants," with HBO and took it to the Aspen Comedy Festival. She is currently working on a new solo show.

Cathy's comedy focuses on family, growing up, relationships, and real life from a very personal perspective.
