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. Before that, she made her professional debut at the age of 11, playing a sweetcorn-obsessed child in Green Giant’s ‘my mum says you are what you eat’ advertising campaign.

She is also an experienced stand-up comedian, enjoying sold-out Edinburgh runs of her shows Kate if You Wanna Go Butcher and Wuthering Shites, as well as performing in Drag Queens vs Zombies and Drag Queens vs Vampires, the latter of which was one of the top 20 best-reviewed comedy shows of EdFringe 2023. That year she also made her West End debut in Sleeping Beauty at the Garrick Theatre, and is returning to Panto at London’s Phoenix Theatre in Peter Pan this festive season. She co-hosts the comedy podcast Queers Gone By, which The Guardian dubbed one of the world’s funniest podcasts.

She has also worked with one of the Cheeky Girls. Unfortunately she can’t remember which.
