After multiple sell-out shows across the UK, Brighton Bred, award-winning comedian Kate-Lois Elliott brings you a WIP of her debut hour...Kate-Lois Elliott's family were brought up in a secretive cult until her mum escaped as a teenager, any questions?One generation later, in a completely unrelated set of events, a teenage Kate finds herself in the clutches of an equally toxic, controlling and militant operation... you know, just your average group of teenage girls... Because as it turns out, cults are everywhere. Now, Kate is confronting her aversion to friendship cliques, discovering that she no longer gives a damn what anyone else thinks (sort of), and trying to figure out why its so impossibly hard to exit a WhatsApp group with your dignity intact.This is a show about enemies, frenemies and how everyone just wants to fit in without joining a cult.British Writers' Guild Award Nominee - Best Online Comedy 2022, British Comedy GuideTalent Awards for Performance Finalist2022, Funny Women Nominee Content Creator Award 2021, Brighton Fringe staff Bursary Winner 2023, West End New Comedian of the Year Finalist 2023, Merky Books New Writers Prize Longlist 2021, Komedia New Comedian Semi-Finalist 2024Zeitgeisty" - BBC Radio''Such funny business from this one.'' - Jessica Fostekew, ''Elliott commands the stage...charming delivery...quality callbacks...''- A Spy In The Stalls, Could sniff the vodka from plinth - Helen Lederer, A rising star - Hayley Macenzie, Script AngelSOLD OUT AT VAULT FESTIVAL, CAMDEN, BRIGHTON, FAVERSHAM, WATFORD, & HASTINGS FRINGES!

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
