Also Featuring...

KATHRYN MATHER

Kathryn Mather is a British comedian originally from Rochdale, known for her dark humor and unique, cynical style.

“The ultra-cynical Kathryn Mather… used to be a children’s entertainer, and now seems to relish the chance to explore darker thoughts her old job would never allow. Her black humour certainly hit a chord with the room.” – Chortle

“Her delivery is very downbeat in style, but this comes across as naturalistic. The material was well written and it had a fresh feel to it. No one else is doing anything on welding or shipping losses and so this was a welcome change.” – Notts Comedy Review
