Katherine was only the second UK-based comedian to get a Netflix Global comedy special (after Jimmy Carr) and the first woman.

Katherine’s debut book The Audacity: Why Being Too Much Is Exactly Enough went straight into the Sunday Times Bestseller list. Her podcast Telling Everybody Everything frequently tops the charts.
“Absolutely brilliant! Everyone loved her and her enthusiasm and engagement were a breath of fresh air.”
The best comedian we've had so far!
Very down-to-earth and a pleasure to work with. She was really focused on not rushing awards presentations (in a good way) and was extremely accommodating with selfies and generally mixing with the attendees for a short time after the formal bit of the evening. The client was delighted with the whole event and we would certainly consider booking Katherine for other events in the future. Thanks very much with your help through the engagement and please pass on our thanks to Katherine.
A brilliant presenter. Her warm-up at the beginning was appropriate for the audience and they responded to her extremely positively. She was also very good at picking up on when the audience were getting a little noisy and dropped in her own humour to make them pay attention again. Couldn’t be happier with her!
Katherine was a pleasure to work with, very amenable and approachable. Her opening felt well researched and bespoke, really tailoring the content to the audience. She was fantastic on stage for the awards and made all our guests feel special, staying around to chat and take pictures afterwards.
Exceptional, she went down very well and stayed for a while afterwards.
