Jodi Maestas Carothers is co-author of a book for adults that kids happen to be crazy about, co-creator of reality (for example: this bio), and co-owner of 4 cats who are ambivalent about being mentioned here, even though they were told about it.

When she isn’t taking care of the domestic feline pride or rocking out to her husband’s band, she is performing stand-up comedy in and around New York City while perpetually attempting to expand her perspective.

She grew up in Colorado, lived in Los Angeles and now sleeps in Brooklyn (not literally right now, unless it’s after midnight EST).
