4.5 Stars As the consummate performer and someone who regularly is in the prize running circuit for good reason. I might start telling women on dates that she should be their favourite comedian.
Musical stand up comedian Katie Norris returns to Edinburgh with another great show. She kicks off by sharing some of the funny, derogatory and just downright misogynist names she’s been called in her life.
