Cat Davies

Finalist Budweiser Legends of Laughter Comedian of the Year 2006
Finalist Krombacher Comedian of the Year 2006

Cat Davies, 24, may well be a petite angelic-looking lady, but is a firecracker with dark and inventive material on stage, and an enigmatic and deceptively sweet delivery. Cat is naturally bubbly and not a character act, a far cry from a comedy stereotype, vowing never to talk about chocolate or 'women's complaints.'

In the last two years, Manchester-based Cat has gigged up and down the UK, playing venues including the award winning XS Malarkey, The Other Side clubs, The Hilarity House in Kidderminster, and Rawhide in Liverpool, The Frog and Bucket, The Comedy Station in Blackpool, The Stand, and was the opening act at the Women's Tent of the 2006 Manchester Pride Festival. She is the Promoter and resident MC of Cats Cradle and also of RE:Verberate, an Arts Council funded literature and music night.

Cat has completed a television presenter's course with Flying Dog Productions, Covent Garden, with an MTV director, and has television credits to her name, including Sky One's 'Sixteen,' by Pacific Productions, and has appeared on BBC Radio Merseyside's 'Stars in their Ears,' BBC Wales, GMR, and Marcher Coast Fm. A former professional actress and T.I.E performer, Cat is also a full Equity member.

She is currently completing an MA in Creative Writing, and has had poetry and short stories published by literary press and arts websites in the UK, Ireland and Canada. The short story Adieu My Stooge was picked for recording and broadcast by www.shortstoryradio.com. Her novel is due for completion in 2008.

During the day, Cat is the Department Coordinator of News and Current Affairs of BBC Manchester.
