Comedian, actor, and writer KATE-LOIS ELLIOTT shares self-deprecating and surprisingly profound stories. Her 2023 debut stand-up show, Gentrifcked*, sold out at the VAULT Festival and enjoyed a successful mini-tour.
This year, rising star Kate-Lois Elliott makes her Edinburgh Fringe debut with HOW TO BELONG WITHOUT JOINING A CULT. The show is based on the true story of Kate’s family, who were raised in a secretive cult until her mum escaped as a teenager. A generation later, in a completely unrelated set of events, teenage Kate finds herself in the grip of another toxic, controlling, and militant group… just your average bunch of teenage girls. Because, as it turns out, cults are everywhere.
Expl0ring themes of group mentality in modern life (from class sytems to school friendship groups), it is bound to be a great show.
With acting credits including Loserville: In Concert in the West End and Clarion, you don’t want to miss this.
