Olga Koch brings her award-nominated stand-up show 'Fat Tom Cruise' to South Street Arts Centre, part of her 2026 UK tour.
Olga Koch brings Fat Tom Cruise to South Street Arts Centre on Friday 20 November, part of her 2026 UK tour. It's an immersive, genre-defying hour that doesn't quite fit into one box: Koch starts with a story that isn't really her own and spends the rest of the show combing through recent history. It's directed by Jet Vevers, and critics have described it as one of the most densely packed, informative and joke-heavy shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, with a high joke rate and smart, dynamic staging. She's also called it one of the most important shows she's ever made.
Koch is a Melbourne and Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated comedian, and this is her satirical and observational comedy brought to the stage. The show has been on the road since February, with the UK tour running from 23 February to 4 December, and it opened with a residency at London's Soho Theatre. Reading is one of the stops on that run, so it's a chance to catch it here rather than trekking to the capital.
