Lorraine Kaczorowski is an entertainment manager and booking professional with more than four decades of experience working with comedians, musicians, venues, and live events. Known for her hands-on approach and long-standing relationships with talent, Lorraine has built her career around a simple philosophy: understand the people you represent, respect their craft, and be someone they can depend on.
After earning a degree in Drama & Art from CUNY, Lorraine began her professional career in the 1980s, working alongside Tony Camacho and building extensive experience in comedy and live entertainment. Over the years, she has managed and booked countless comedy clubs, concert venues, and special events. Her work has included projects connected with VH1’s Stand Up Spotlight and Rodney Dangerfield’s HBO specials, as well as bookings for venues including Rascals Comedy Clubs, The Comedy Lofts, and Turning Stone.
Throughout her career, Lorraine has had the opportunity to work with an extraordinary range of performers, including George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield, Julio Iglesias, Kenny Rogers, Pat Cooper, and many others. Behind the names and venues, however, her greatest strength has always been the day-to-day work of supporting talent—solving problems, managing details, building relationships, and helping performers concentrate on what they do best.
Her connection to live entertainment began long before it became her profession. As a child, Lorraine was captivated by her first Broadway experience, Doug Henning’s The Magic Show, beginning a lifelong fascination with live performance. She later became a performer herself, playing electric guitar and singing lead vocals in bands including Little Blind Fish and Enchantment, performing rock, blues, and folk music from the 1960s and ’70s.
Lorraine’s passion for music also led her into writing and fan communities. She contributed to music fanzines and publications and later created Suitelorraine.com, one of the early online communities devoted to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Long before social media became part of everyday life, the site brought music fans together to exchange concert reviews, photographs, stories, and information. Those online connections eventually became real-world friendships and gatherings among fans from around the country.
That combination of performer, fan, community builder, manager, and booking professional has given Lorraine an unusually personal understanding of the people she represents. She knows that a successful career in entertainment depends on much more than what happens onstage. It requires trust, consistency, attention to detail, and someone behind the scenes who will be there when problems need to be solved. Comedian Louis Ramey described that quality this way: “Her work ethic and problem-solving skills have made her an invaluable asset throughout my career.”
For Lorraine, that relationship with talent remains at the heart of the work. “I love what I do, working with the talent. The entertainers I work with rely on me and know that I believe in them, respect their craft, and support their day-to-day agenda.”
After more than four decades in entertainment, that commitment remains unchanged: respect the talent, understand the business, solve the problems, and be someone people can count on.
