EDINBURGH FRINGE PREVIEW:

Kate Butch & James Barr

KATE BUTCH

Come and witness award-winning menace to society Kate Butch unleash a brand-new batch of chaotic brilliance. Fresh from dazzling Drag Race, storming a sell-out run at the Soho Theatre, and packing out the Edinburgh Fringe, Kate is back with a work-in-progress hour that’s bursting with ludicrous stories, bold new ideas, and the kind of chaotic glamour only she can deliver.

Expect jokes, questionable decisions, and a whole lot of Butch-ery as she tests out material hotter than her contour.

A night of belly laughs guaranteed. It’s a cool venue and a credit to Brighton.

Great night out! Mild emotional damage included, would absolutely risk sitting in the front row again.

Komedia isn’t just a comedy club. It’s the sound of people forgetting everything else for a while and that’s worth showing up for.

Guaranteed good evening out. Easy to find, good selection of food and drinks, great atmosphere.

Refreshing, thought-provoking and always very funny.

It has that reputation of being one of those go-to spots where you’re pretty much guaranteed a fun evening, even if you don’t recognise the comedians on the line-up.

An evening of fun and laughs to share with my family and friends time and time again.

Remembering some great nights with some of my favourite comedians for nearly 30 years!

Mixture of new & more established comedians in a great location, well organised and a fair price.

A lively room full of big laughs, quick wit, and the kind of night out where you forget to check your phone.

Big laughs, buzzing crowds, and a fun night out with a quirky, local vibe.
