Finding humor in the midst isn't just the name of Kate's workshop series, it's her life's philosophy. Her best advice? Always carry a notebook and pen because you don't write comedy, you just write it down. Kate believes humor is medicine and each of us has a unique role to play in offering that medicine to others. Is there anything better than making others laugh and learning not to take ourselves too seriously?
Her most brilliant career advice? Find your unique voice – the journey is longer, but you'll have much more staying power once you hit your stride.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
