"The standup of Kristin Clifford was deadpan and hilarious; her act is like your favorite episode of The Office, rolled up into one person." - Chicago Stage Review
"We went to Comedy at the Mette last night and there was an awesome funny lady named Kristin Clifford who cracked us up in a fresh way with jokes about watching TV and bad haircuts.

Her face may be sweet, but her observational and autobiographical comedy cuts like a knife. Kristin’s lovable yet biting take on topics like working life, dating, and pop culture has made her relatable to audiences all over the country.
