In the first episode of season one, titled Out & About, Kathy is tasked with promoting her upcoming comedy show in New Jersey. She begins the episode by explaining the differences between the A-List and the D-List, emphasizing that the D-List is a place where has-beens and up-and-comers reside. She also makes it clear that she is happy to be on the D-List, as she believes it gives her more freedom to be outrageous.

She tries to drum up support by approaching strangers on the street, but many of them seem confused as to who she is and what she does.
Things take a turn for the worse when Kathy discovers that she will be performing in a bar, rather than a theater. She is visibly disappointed, as she had been hoping for a more high-profile venue. But as always, Kathy soldiers on and gives it her all on stage.
The episode also explores Kathy's personal life, as she spends time with her parents and talks about her struggle to find a boyfriend. She makes it clear that she is not interested in settling down and getting married, but would be open to a serious relationship.
