CAROLINE HIRSCH is an enterpreneur and philanthropist who founded the landmark CAROLINE'S ON BROADWAY, the upscale, must-stop comedy club for rising and established comedians, located on Braodway in the heart of Manhattan.  In 1982, she left a marketing job at Gimble's to open a small cabaret club in Chelsea, eventually developing a roster of incredible comedians and knack for noticing the next big thing. So popular were her lineups, her club required a move to the legendary 300-seat art deco space she operates today.  Hirsch also lauchned the New York Comedy Festival, now the largest and most successful comedy festival of its kind.  She regularly produces comedy shows that support philanthropic casues, and was named a Comedy Legend & Groundbreaker by Daily Variety for her contribution to the art form.
