The Lesbian Looks Film Series opens its 15th season of free screenings on Friday, October 5 with Andrea Meyerson’s 2007 documentary Kate Clinton: 25th Anniversary Tour.
With a quarter century of stand-up under her belt, Kate Clinton calls herself “the last lesbian comic standing.” But where Kate really stands is at the forefront of the lesbian movement, where her sharp, politically charged humor has made her a celebrated voice of enlightenment and empowerment.
In 2006, to mark her silver anniversary as a performer, Kate embarked on a 50-city “It’s Come to This!” tour, sponsored by the National Center for Lesbian Rights. Her hilarious performance is interspersed with a variety of personal moments along the tour route, including backstage banter with her 18-year partner Urvashi Vaid and cameos from Lily Tomlin, Melissa Etheridge, Billie Jean King, Marga Gomez, Vickie Shaw and other lesbian comics.
