Kate Cheka: A Messiah Comes

Funny Women Award-winner of 2023 Kate Cheka fleshes out an hour where she wonders why she is always trying to save everything.
Where does this messiah complex come from? That would’ve been a better title for the show but another (!!) comedian got there first so maybe it is also a bit about problematic predators in comedy and the burnout that comes trying to fix it and also my mother who has admitted to thinking she had and I quote ”birthed the messiah”. A show for anyone who is anxious about the state of the world and wonders what to do about it. While the birth of a man who thinks he’s god is not that rare event… behold a woman who thinks so too.
Expect thoughtful and sometimes filthy observations on politics, sex and (pop) culture.

Other accolades include being a BBC New Comedy Award regional finalist 2022, Berlin New Stand-up Award finalist 2019, Funny Women Award semi-finalist 2021 and 2022 one-to-watch. Having performed across in eight countries across four continents Kate has been described as having “stylish comedy delivered with a blend of joy and disdain”.

And some reviews:

‘She’s a smart operator, but wears it lightly, mixing opinionated stand-up with frank and relatable “what was I thinking?”-type personal anecdotes, all delivered with poise’ – Steve Bennett, Chortle

‘A confident set filled with surprising gags and to her ability to put a clever, unexpected twist on newsworthy topics… Kate is a multi-talented comic, with plenty up her sleeve and a lot more to share’ – Zoe Paskett, Funny Women Review
