Kate Smurthwaite: Clit Stirrer
The award-winning feminist, atheist, polyamorous comedian and Have I Got News For You writer puts away all those years of coquettishness and gets off the fence.
Kate has sworn, flashed her hairy armpits at Eamonn Holmes, shown up in pyjamas, called a Daily Mail columnist “Dad” and shouted at a nun all on live TV. That’s when she’s not insulting organised religion or the monarchy. But is she the one with the problem? Lots of angry men with very poor grammar on the internet think so.
She’s actually a nice quiet homely sort. In her new one-woman show, Kate lifts the lid on her reputation as a provocatrice extraordinaire and asks: where did it all go wrong?
In an hour of warm, insightful stand-up from the woman described by John Cleese as “fun, energetic & full of ideas”, Kate takes on everything from alpha males to holy grails.
