Karith Foster

Foster is also featured in the 2019 docudrama No Safe Spaces. The film covers how college campuses, originally seen as havens for free expression, have come to threaten that very concept. Directed by Justin Folk, the film features such personalities as Tim Allen, Dennis Prager, Adam Carolla, Andrew Schulz, Ben Shapiro, Bryan Callen, and more.

She is also a recurring guest on John Fugelsang's Tell Me Everything radio show on SiriusXM Insight, and co-host of Shapiro and Foster on Fox Business Network podcasts. Foster was also an occasional co-host of “The Black Phillip Show” with Patrice O’Neal on XM Radio.

In addition to being a well-known comic, Foster is recognized for being a prolific speaker. By applying her brand of comedy to her speaking career, Foster has become one of the most sought-after speakers for both college campuses and corporations in the areas of diversity, leadership, women, team building, and motivational speaking. Her keynotes and presentations include events at Stephens College, The Woodhull Institute, and Tony Robbins' NY Powerteam, and Own it Venture's Women's Business Expo. In March 2017, Foster delivered her first TEDx Talk, “The Art of Defying Stereotypes: Learning to be True to Your Voice,” at the TEDx LincolnSquare Risk Takers and Change Makers event in New York City

In 2015, Foster was featured in the documentary Can We Take a Joke?, which is "an examination of Western society's apparent contemporary intolerance of edgy humor by comedians". The documentary also features other prominent comedians such as Adam Carolla, Penn Jillette, Gilbert Gottfried, and Lisa Lampanelli.

Foster is the host of the TalkBackTV show Shovio.com. She was previously a contributor on the Imus in the Morning on WABC radio and its RFD-TV television program. Foster left the show in August 2009.

Since entering the comedy scene in New York City in 1998, Foster has performed both live audience warm-up and as a guest for The Oprah Winfrey Show and for Showtime at the Apollo Theatre. When she is not headlining colleges and clubs across the country, Foster performs weekly at a variety of NYC comedy clubs including the Comedy Cellar, The Comic Strip Live, Carolines on Broadway, Gotham Comedy Club, Stand-up New York Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club & Café, and New York Comedy Club.
