Reviews: “Charming, witty and with just a hint of a wicked glint in her eye, Kate Smuthwaite’s exuberant and affable personality is a little reminiscent of an excitable, slightly irresponsible head girl luring impressionable fourth formers into some illicit fun. You’d have to be made of granite not to warm to her.««««” National Student “Adrenaline [2006 solo show] made me want to go cliff-jumping even though I have been suffering from narcolepsy for the past ten years! ... Absolutely brilliant, funny from start to finish” bbc.co.uk “Excellent ... the next big thing for the comedy circuit. ««««” one4review.com “This is high quality stand-up, not to be missed. ««««” Three Weeks “Spectacular ... brilliant humour. ««««” Edinburgh Guide
