Increasing up in a modest town, Karen Rontowski constantly felt like she didn’t seriously belong.
“People will notify me that they grew up in Los Angeles, and I’ll say ‘Oh, my God, that appears like the finest life at any time!” she reported.
All she realized was that she wanted to get out of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, populace 43,000. And come to be a tarot card reader. And a paranormal investigator.
“I was constantly into the paranormal and the psychic things,” she mentioned. “And actually, I did not know I was likely to be a comedian then, but I believe I presently was. I often say comedians are born. They are not made…And I consider people glance at me and (query) me becoming a paranormal comedian, and I’m like, I can do it. I can do it all.”
Rontowski explained that increasing up in a smaller city manufactured her want to do her possess thing. She did not want to get married or have children. She did not even want to proceed with school.
“But I did go to school and somehow finagled obtaining out a semester early, and I jumped on a plane with $800 in my pocket, and I moved to Vegas,” she claimed. “Yeah, the issues you do when you’re in your twenties and are like, ‘Oh, this will work out fantastic.’”
When in Vegas, she worked as a cigarette woman, before a close friend took her to an open up mic night. From there on, she understood comedy was what she desired to do.
“I opened up with an aged soiled joke that I just cannot even try to remember now and it bought this sort of a major chuckle. And then every little thing I experienced prepared was just awful. But I was like, ‘This is it. Regardless of what it requires, this is what I’m doing,’” she mentioned.
But still, she had experienced these psychic encounters and was understanding tarot cards. Following several years of finding readings, she made the decision to glance additional intently at them.
Now she tells fortunes through her tarot playing cards and does paranormal investigations in rural spots like the Stanley Lodge in Colorado, the Houghton Mansion in North Adams, Massachusetts, The Inn at Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, the Burlington Jail and Museum in Burlington, New Jersey, or Cemetery Miflin in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Around the training course of her profession, she’s been invited on a lot of exhibits, including The Late Display with David Letterman, and Mysteries of the Unexplained. She also performs at paranormal conventions all over the earth, which led to her odd world wide web sequence Paranormal Karen wherever she reviews on haunted and obscure places in all places. She’s even bought a gig as the comedy writer for “Haunted Journal.”
Immediately after 30 yrs on the highway, she’d experienced it however. It was time to gradual down. So, she decided to incorporate it all. Now her Psychic Stand-up CD is ready to be introduced and her tarot card readings are booked up about a month in advance.
In Psychic Stand-up, following about an hour of stand-up, she and one of her good friends do psychic readings for audience customers making use of her tarot playing cards. Of program, the readings are amusing, she explained, but even now accurate.
“It’s truly pretty a exclusive present,” she explained. “But it’s what I want to be carrying out with my life…and it’s humorous, you know. A person will say, ‘Am I gonna have a little one?’ And I say, ‘So you’re trying’ and then I’ll go ‘Not correct now, not ideal now,…’ And it is improv and it’s modifying all the time. It problems my brain and it problems my psychic function. It just is the most pleasurable. And it’s really interesting.”
As Covid-19 proceeds to shut down many bars and restaurants across the nation, Rontowski reported she will continue on her tarot card readings, and teach tarot card lessons. And she’ll operate on far more and a lot more Psychic Stand-Up stuff.
“It’s been a bizarre 12 months for most people. A large amount of comedians, you know, they are just like, ‘Oh, I’m sitting at home with my feelings,’ but I’m more than below making an attempt to pump out video clips and attempting to figure out how to make it do the job.”
