  • Summary

  • From creative visionary Lena Waithe and Hillman Grad Productions (Queen & Slim and The Chi) comes a Hollywood story you rarely get to hear. Introducing Kym, Audible’s brand-new, raw as hell, heartfelt comedy starring Kym Whitley.

    Created by Waithe and Whitley, Kym features an all-star cast including Sherri Shepherd, David A. Arnold, Jess Hilarious, Jenifer Lewis, and Oscar-nominated actress Cynthia Erivo with original music composed by multiple Grammy Award-winning artist Wyclef Jean. Set in Los Angeles, Kym follows the fictionalized story of Kym Wilson, a single, middle-aged stand-up comic and actress trying to keep her Hollywood star rising while simultaneously raising a young boy left on her doorstep. As Kym balances showbiz demands with her son’s growing needs—and while her child’s biological mom keeps popping in and out of their lives—a hard-to-shake romance creeps back into her heart. Can Kym’s grit, talent, and cool keep everything—and everyone—in check?

    Wildly funny and brilliantly performed, Kym is the bold and bingeable listen you deserve. Enter her world and celebrate the story of one woman’s calling to not just be someone, but be someone for the ones she loves.
