Her collaboration with trip hop violinist Lyris Hung, "Slanty Eyed Mama", has recently returned from a tour of Australia Canada and the West Coast.

Kate continues to perform in Kate's Chink-O-Rama and continues to spread the funky urban asian word on standup mic's all over the country. turns into a kind of military drill sargeant with no sense of humor. She is attracted to shiny objects and enjoys giving unsolicited feng shui advice to her peers. She is a closet angst poet and sometimes can't stop writing rhyming couplets. She enjoys burlesque and any form of entertainment that involved choreography.
She is misunderstood by her parents on a regular basis.
