Kathryn Burns No Longer Keeps Her Emmy in the Bathroom

By Alison Rosen on October 14, 2018 in podcast

The list of shows Kathryn Burns has choreographed is highly impressive. In addition to her work on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend she’s worked on Key & Peele, Workaholics, Another Period, Garfunkel & Oates, Wet Hot American Summer, Better Things, Jimmy Kimmel, Comedy Bang Bang and more. She’s a go-to comedy choreographer but she’s also worked with Carly Rae Jepsen and Pharrell. She’s the first choreographer I’ve had on the show and I was fascinated to learn how it all works and also that there’s no union that represents TV and film choreographers. We also talked about her path, UCB, nursing, body image, her family, serendipity and so much more. Plus we took questions from listeners and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone.
