Kate Butch

Kate Butch is an award-winning menace to society who is perhaps best known for competing on Series 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, becoming one of its breakout stars. Elsewhere on TV, she has won Celebrity Mastermind and appeared in multiple episodes of the BBC One sitcom The Power of Parker. Her radio appearances include The Today Programme, Michael Ball, and Scott Mills, as well as co-hosting Radio 1’s Three Queens of Christmas with Tia Kofi and The Vivienne.

She is an award-winning stand-up comedian, singer and cabaret artist, enjoying sold-out Edinburgh Fringe runs of her shows Kate If You Wanna Go Butcher and Wuthering Shites, which went on a smash-hit UK tour in 2025. In 2023 she made her West End debut in Sleeping Beauty at the Harold Pinter Theatre, before returning to the West End stage in 2024’s Peter Pan. She is set to write and star in 2025’s Snow White in the West End’s Emerald Theatre. She co-hosts the podcast Queers Gone By, which The Guardian dubbed one of the world’s funniest podcasts, and is currently working on her own sitcom.

Kate has performed with drag icons Sasha Velour and Bob the Drag Queen, pop princess JADE, and even one of the Cheeky Girls. Unfortunately, she can’t remember which one.
