Years ago, when Kitty left Australia, she was probably better known for her character work on Full Frontal (a TV sketch show, not a nudie mag)
In 2001, she moved to London to pursue a career in standup comedy. She also landed a job on the UK Sketch Show but for the most part spent the years over there honing her standup skills and working the prestigious UK comedy club circuit. For the record she also worked the not so prestigious UK comedy club circuit and did her fair share of egregious gigs all over England and beyond.
For the past eight years she’s been a regular at all the best clubs and all the big festivals around the world, including Edinburgh, Montreal and Aspen. She’s even done comedy in Japan, Holland, Germany and South Africa – quite an achievement really as those countries are all SO well known for their senses of humour.
But you can’t waft about the world forever so eventually she came back home and wafted around Australia instead, supporting visiting international artists such as Wayne Brady and Jason Alexander. She travelled all over the country with the Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow in 2009, 37 gigs in 32 towns in 35 minutes…or maybe it was days, who can remember.
Since then she’s been popping up on Good News Week, Spicks and Specks and most recently as a regular on The 7pm Project with her own brand of 99% fact free humour.
The show CHARMING & ALARMING debuted to huge success last year at The Sydney Opera House and has since enjoyed sellout seasons at the Brisbane and Melbourne Comedy Festivals. By popular demand Kitty is bringing the show back to Sydney. For Five nights only at the Factory Theatre Kitty will showcase the definitive collection of her best standup along with some special extras…just like a DVD only in real life!
CHARMING & ALARMING is a fast paced evening of cracking stories, skillful characterisations, hard laughs and a little bit of musical spectacle from a secret special guest…who, as it happens, is neither secret nor special. In fact, it’s just her sister Penny who works cheap, plays guitar and sings in tune at various points throughout the show.
As the title suggests, the show is a fine balance of all things charming and alarming or as it has also been described “a little bit ooh-wah”, which is to say that people laugh first then afterwards go “oowah, did she really say that?”
