Armed with a degree in Physical Education and an MBA, Kay Frances took a position as Director of
Marketing for a national restaurant chain in Oklahoma. However, her life began to veer in another
direction. Her first time doing stand up comedy was on vacation in Cancun, Mexico when she took to
the stage on a dare. For the next few years, Kay honed her act at local comedy clubs and when she
discovered that this was her hearts desire, she became a Professional Stand Up Comedian.
