Kate Dolan Returns with Highly Anticipated New Stand Up Show, The Critic.
After a whirlwind year that saw her receive the Best Emerging Artist Award at Adelaide Fringe 2024, Kate Dolan is back with her latest show, The Critic. Hot on the heels of her triumphant debut, which played to packed houses at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Dolan’s return promises even more of her signature sharp wit and imaginative storytelling.
Dolan’s meteoric rise has been cemented by her appearances on the prestigious, Best of the Fest: New Faces UK, Sydney Comedy Festival Gala, and her inclusion in major media spotlights. She was featured as a “Names to Remember from the Fringe” by Metro UK and profiled in a New York Times article celebrating women in comedy. Critics have hailed her as one of the brightest emerging talents.
In an interesting twist, Dolan signed to Junkyard Artists in February 2024, under this management a pilot was filmed, an Edinburgh season was possible and a special was planned to be taped. Before the pilot could be finished and 9 days before the special was to be filmed, this management company declared insolvency. Proving to Dolan that nothing ever goes right for her, she is the greatest victim of all time and maybe this is all for nothing. Could some good press get her back on track? Could you be the hero she so desperately needs?
With The Critic, Dolan takes audiences on a hilarious journey into the absurdity of self-doubt, bringing her unique perspective to life through surreal stand-up storytelling. Featuring biting humor, unexpected twists, and even a plant pot, Dolan unpacks the chaos of her inner monologue with disarming charm and razor-sharp observations.
