- Birth nameCatherine Anne Boudreau
- Cathe B is a stand-up comedian, voice artist, and improvisational actor who has performed all over the United States and Canada. Starting her career in 1976 as a featured extra on WGBH television series, she caught the eye of comedians around her hometown of Boston, and by 16 was doing open mic work at the Charles Playhouse's Comedy Connection. After a stint in the Navy, she finished her education at the California Institute of the Arts. It was there she met Academy Award Winner, Christine Ennis, who featured Cathe's comedic talents in her graduate thesis. It was also at this time that she began training and performing with the now defunct Santa Monica branch of Second City, under the mentorship of Mina Kolb and Avery Shreiber.
While working in Second City, Cathe also performed stand up as a regular at the Comedy Store, Los Angeles. She was invited to tour colleges, and maintained a steady climb upward, famously refusing to sign onto television shows as her first love was always comedy, not acting. In an interview with Roz Browne in Comic Bible, she says she sees the importance of the freedom that non-household name status gives, and continues working to this day. Ms. Boudreau is also a well-known voice artist, and has done several radio shows, in national and international markets.
She married her long time love, Mike Jones, the jazz musician who is the musical director for Penn and Teller, in 2005, but after ten years, they amicably split ways. During their time together, they worked on several projects for friends, including & Teller, directed and written by Zeke Zebrowski. The couple had no children.
Cathe is performing in San Francisco, and nationally, and enjoys surfing.
