Kate Kennedy Guests on ‘Stripped by SIA’ Podcast
Stand-up comedian, content creator, porn pundit, and self-described “podcast slut” Kate Kennedy is the guest on this week’s “Stripped by SIA”, hosted by Steph Sia.
“Stripped by SIA” is a podcast about strippers and sex workers with an aim to educate the masses about sex work. The show and this channel provides safe space for sex workers and service providers to speak about their experiences – the good, the bad, and the ugly – with an effort to normalize and de-stigmatize these professions.
Be prepared for some laughs on Episode #105 as Kennedy speaks about her unusual entry into porn, sex worker activism and the importance of humor in sex work, and much more!
A job working behind the scenes at a small porn production company in Portland, Oregon led to her taking her first baby steps in front of the camera. Kennedy loved it so much that she packed her bags and headed for sunny L.A. There, Kate racked up awards and nominations for her work in adult, slowly rising the ranks in the World of X until COVID-19 shut her dreams down. Working in stand-up comedy, Kate was able to share her experiences, both good and bad, as a goldmine for humorous material, gracing many of Hollywood’s oldest stand-up stages.
“I had a blast guesting on the ‘Stripped by SIA’ podcast,” said Kennedy. “She’s a doll and we discussed everything from dancing to comedy to life after porn and where the industry is headed next.”
Host Sia remarked, “I was so thrilled to have Kate on the show. She is an extremely valuable resource in our industry, having worked in so many corners in the community.
“We dove headfirst into Kate’s introduction to the LA comedy scene and how she was able to weave her experiences in sex work into her stand up. It’s so important to have leaders and role models like her in the industry instead of other comedians and outsiders, whom have never done the (sex) work, punching down on sex workers and picking on outdated stereotypes.
“Not to mention, she is an absolutely hysterical individual.”
