Summary

Her name may have been funny to  classmates, but nowadays Kate Micucci is funny to EVERYONE!

 

Before “Garfunkel and Oates,” and before she became Velma on Scooby Doo, Kate was a small town, awkward kid who looked like a baby and listened primarily to Broadway musicals.

 

Kate shares her origin story as a ukulele player and she goes through her colorful resumé of odd jobs, which included a stint as a professional sand castle architect.

 

Plus, Kate’s new children’s book, The Monster and Puppet Show, is all about setting boundaries! Hear it all on a new issue of Teen Beat!
