2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Kate Barron: Losing Myself
Kate Barron talks about losing a dramatic amount of weight in this interesting, filthy, funny and emotional show. The jokes stop in the final five minutes, but it is this sensitive ending that will remain in our thoughts. A story you need to hear.
In her Fringe debut, one of the rising stars of the UK stand-up scene shares a raw, honest and hilarious hour of tales... with just the right amount of filth. Join the Canadian comedian as she tells her very personal story of how living in a new country in a global pandemic led her to take a drastic decision without telling a soul, and returns to the stage over 13 stone lighter, in more ways than one. 'Blunt, bold, ballsy and brilliant' (LeicestershirePress.com).
