Her name may have been funny to  classmates, but nowadays Kate Micucci is funny to EVERYONE!

Before “Garfunkel and Oates,” and before she became Velma on Scooby Doo, Kate was a small town, awkward kid who looked like a baby and listened primarily to Broadway musicals.

Kate shares her origin story as a ukulele player and she goes through her colorful resumé of odd jobs, which included a stint as a professional sand castle architect.

Plus, Kate’s new children’s book, The Monster and Puppet Show, is all about setting boundaries! Hear it all on a new issue of Teen Beat!
