KARA BULLER is a writer for Bust Magazine, and her biting comedy has snatched up prizes from Chicago to New York and been seen as far west as Maui and as far sad as a Midwestern memorial service. She has been deemed "very smart, very funny" by David Letterman's chief talent booker, as well as "very funny" by the Chicago Reader. Kara is a graduate of Chicago's legendary Second City. There Kara performed her one-woman show Cowboy Crushes, Prank Calls and the Biblette, which, according to the Chicago Reader, was "full of hilarious insights." Kara is equipped with an attitude of gratitude and is raring to go.
