Karen Rontowski has spent 35 years as a stand-up comedian and 25 years as a professional tarot reader — and rather than keeping those two worlds separate, she built a show around the collision.
Psychic Stand-Up is exactly what it sounds like: a live performance that blends comedy with real-time crowd readings. Karen describes it as part stand-up, part intuitive experience, and audiences tend to leave having laughed more than they expected and thought more than they anticipated.
Her comedy has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, Comedy Central, Comics Unleashed, Live at Gotham, and Mysteries of the Unexplained. Her Dry Bar Comedy Special Ridiculous Me has accumulated over 40 million views. In addition to her stage work, Karen is a Paranormal Investigator and reiki master, and she created the web series and podcast Paranormal Karen, which follows her investigations of haunted and obscure locations.
At StaarCon 6 and StaarCon 6 Virtual, Karen will bring Psychic Stand-Up to the Live Track on Sunday, October 4th at 4:30 PM EDT. It’s a fitting close to the weekend — and a different kind of look at what professional tarot practice can be.
