Three Weeks Review
Kate Fox News
Kate Fox

"News just in… Kate Fox is very good at what she does. A poet and stand-up comedian, Fox has blended the two trades and come up with a humorous and engaging retelling of her life. Raised by swingers during the Thatcher era, she witnessed the burning of the ‘Satanic Verses’ as she eloped with a gunrunner and worked at a radio station which accidentally played ‘What took you so long’ when the Queen Mum died. There were some laugh out loud moments but I spent the majority of the show simply marvelling at her quirky command of the English language and enthralled by her tales. Whether you’re a poetry lover or not, Fox is a wonderful storyteller and this is a gem of a show."
