She began in Berlin where she organised and hosted two shows, a femme identifying open mic and a women of colour showcase. She won the 2023 Funny Women Awards, was a BBC New Comedy Awards regional finalist 2022 and Funny Women semi-finalist and One to Watch 2022. Other accolades include Berlin New Stand-up Award finalist 2019 and BBC Radio 4 Introducing New Comedy Award 2019 nominee.

REVIEWS:

'You'll be fine' - Stewart Lee

'She’s a smart operator, but wears it lightly, mixing opinionated stand-up with frank and relatable "what was I thinking?"-type personal anecdotes, all delivered with poise' - Steve Bennett, Chortle

'A confident set filled with surprising gags and to her ability to put a clever, unexpected twist on newsworthy topics... Kate is a multi-talented comic, with plenty up her sleeve and a lot more to share' - Zoe Paskett, Funny Women Review
