About

Katherine was the 2008 winner of the Nivea Funny Women Awards and is a fresh and bitingly funny addition to UK stand-up.

She played the lead role of George in Victoria Pile's Channel 4 series CAMPUS and also recently filmed a role in the second series of EPISODES, She has also appeared in E4's RUSSELL KANE'S COMEDY SUMMIT, was a regular on DIRTY DIGEST and is currently developing material for Monkey Kingdom and STV.

Katherine made her debut on Channel 4's 8 OUT OF 10 CATS on Friday 4th May and was immediately invited back on the show on Friday 18th May as her appearance went down so well.

She successfully completed her first solo show LITTLE MISS CONCEPTION at The Pleasance in the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe. She is currently preparing to take her second show up this year to the Gilded Balloon.

"She has perfect timing and enough attitude to stop an elephant in its tracks." - TIME OUT

"Delectable; cute.... her lines are beautifully written and the quality keeps on coming!" - AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

"...dark remarks about her cancer treatment and sugary innocence made a striking combination." - EVENING STANDARD

"...has the potential to be the next big star of shock stand-up." - THREE WEEKS

Katherine is also a talented actress who recently appeared in ROUTES, which was nominated for three British Interactive Media Awards (including one for Best Online Content), a BAFTA in the 2009 Children's BAFTA Awards (Interactive Category) and also for the 2009 Writer's Guild Video Game Award.
