Kate-Lois Elliott: How to Belong Without Joining a Cult
Wed 30 Apr 2025 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM BST
Alma Tavern and Theatre, BS82HY
Description
After a sellout run at Edinburgh Fringe, Kate-Lois Elliott brings her award-winning, critically acclaimed debut hour on tour.
Elliott’s family lived in a secretive cult until her mum escaped. One generation later, a teenage Kate finds herself in the clutches of an equally militant operation... just your average group of teenage girls. Because, as it turns out, cults are everywhere – ask anyone with a Tesco Clubcard.
British Writers’ Guild Award nominee, The Times Best Jokes of The Fringe, Edinburgh News Best Jokes of The Fringe, supported by the Keep It Fringe Fund.
