Kelly MacFarland, a former “Biggest Loser” contestant and stand-up comic, is bringing her act to Dalton State College in Dalton, Ga., on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The free performance will be in Goodroe Auditorium of Memorial Hall.
Ms. MacFarland, a native of Maine, appeared on the first season of “The Biggest Loser” and competed in 10 episodes before leaving the show. During that time, she lost more than 40 pounds, then lost an additional 21 pounds in the following months.
Last year, she was named first runner-up in the Boston Comedy Festival. She has opened for Melissa Etheridge and LeAnn Rimes, and worked alongside Fred Willard as part of the news team of “TV Network” on Turner Entertainment’s broadband site SuperDeluxe.com.
During her act, Ms. MacFarland talks about fitness and health, sharing her journey to become an athlete through weight loss and self-acceptance.
