About this show

Kate Butch, the star of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, The Power of Parker, Celebrity Mastermind and at least three episodes of Crimewatch, is back in Edinburgh with a new stand-up show. This 'great comedian' (WhatsOnStage.com) is on a mission: become a better person or die trying. Through the medium of sequins, proverbs and foliage, join Kate as she dissects the shadiest moments of her life and find out whether you really can teach an old dog to change its spots as it shits in the woods.
