DISCLAIMER: 

Kirsten is a comedian living with Cystic Fibrosis. While we understand that other individuals with Cystic Fibrosis may want to enjoy her comedy live, the CF Foundation recommends only one person with Cystic Fibrosis per indoor space. We kindly ask that if you are an individual living with Cystic Fibrosis, you please respect these boundaries for everyone’s safety. Many adults with CF may feel more comfortable taking risks while on modulators, such as Trikafta or similar life-changing medications, however Kirsten has a rare CF mutation and does not qualify for these new treatments, leaving her still very vulnerable. 

If you have CF and still intend on coming to a show knowing these risks, while we cannot require anyone to disclose their medical history, we respectfully ask that you email allison.kodroff@authenticm.com to give a heads-up that you will be in attendance.  We will make sure to seat you at least six feet from the stage. Thank you for your understanding while we prioritize the health and safety of all CFers.
