Kat Timpf is a writer, comedian, and libertarian commentator. She’s currently the co-host of Gutfeld! on Fox News weeknights at 11pm and a Fox News contributor. She is also a prolific writer, and was a columnist for National Review for nearly six years. She’s also worked at Campus Reform, The Washington Times, Barstool Sports, Total Traffic Network, and Boston Market, and was a stand-up comedian for long enough for this to be her third time quitting.
Kat stands out in a sea of pundits because of her libertarian perspective and use of comedy and satire to get her no-nonsense points across. While she is steadfast in her strong libertarian beliefs, Kat is a firm believer in the power of conversations to bridge gaps, political or otherwise. Kat loves connecting with people across the country and around the world and talking about the things that are on everyone’s minds, but no one's lips. And she is sure to do so with a great deal of respect and humor.
Kat explores these topics and more in her new book You Can’t Joke About That, available everywhere on April 18th. She lives in New York City with her husband Cam, their dog Carl, and her cat Cheens.
What happens when we can’t joke about some of the most important stuff in life?
In a 2019 study, 40% of people reported censoring themselves out of fear that voicing their views would alienate them from the people they care about most. Those people should probably not read this book in public.
In You Can’t Joke About That, Kat Timpf shows why much of the way we talk about sensitive subjects is wrong. We’ve created all the wrong rules. We push ourselves into unnecessary conflicts when we should feel like we’re all in this together. When someone says “you can’t joke about that,” what they really mean is “this is a subject that makes people sad or angry.”
Hilariously and movingly, Timpf argues that those subjects are actually the most important to joke about. She shows us we can find healing through humor regarding things you probably don't want to bring up in polite conversation, like traumatic break-ups, cancer, being broke, Dave Chappelle, rape jokes, aging, ostomy bags, religion, body image, dead moms, religion, the lab leak theory, transgender swimmers, gushing wounds, campus censorship, and bad Christmas presents.
This book is Kat Timpf with her hair down, except since hers is mostly extensions, this book is Kat Timpf with her hair out. Read it because you want to get to know her better. Read it because it’s the best book on free speech and comedy in a generation. Read it because you want to laugh out loud… even at the kind of stuff we’re afraid to say out loud. Just read it, and you’ll be glad you did.
