Edinburgh Fringe Preview: Kate Butch & Joe Sutherland

If you are already planning your summer calendar, there is a comedy double-bill coming to the Komedia Studio on July 9th that might be worth noting. Kate Butch and Joe Sutherland are bringing their work-in-progress shows to Brighton, giving us a preview of the material they are preparing for the Edinburgh Fringe festival. It is a chance to see new sets in a more intimate setting before they head up north.

Kate Butch, who has been part of the Drag Race scene, is bringing a mix of new material that leans into her usual style of chaotic storytelling. Sharing the stage is Joe Sutherland, known for his previous shows like MODEL/ACTRESS and TOXIC. He is using this time to test out his latest hour of material, which continues his focus on sharp, direct humour. Since these are work-in-progress shows, the atmosphere is usually a bit more relaxed than a polished tour performance, as the comedians are actively refining their jokes and timing.

The event takes place at the Komedia Studio, located at 44-47 Gardner Street. Doors open at 19:00, and the show itself kicks off at 19:30. The total runtime is scheduled for about an hour and 15 minutes, which includes a short interval between 20:30 and 20:45. It is worth keeping in mind that the venue has an age restriction of 16 and over for this show.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are priced at £10.00 for standard entry, with a concession rate of £8.00 available. It is worth noting that these prices can fluctuate depending on the day, so it is something to keep an eye on if you are planning to book. It is a straightforward evening of comedy if you are looking for something to do in the city that evening.
