Kathleen Hughes: Cryptid (WIP)

About Kathleen Hughes: Cryptid (WIP)

Kathleen isn't sure of anything anymore. She's not even sure she exists.

CRYPTID is the dark and hilarious debut hour from Glasgow comic Kathleen Hughes, "one of the fastest rising comedy stars" (Jay Lafferty) - a show about identity, imperfection, and the mortifying ordeal of allowing yourself to be seen. Sort of.

Kathleen Hughes has been making a name for herself as one to watch in Scottish comedy. She has been entertaining audiences across the UK and Europe including sell-out shows at Glasgow International Comedy Festival and regular spots at the world-famous Stand comedy club. Tackling subjects such as identity, gender, sexuality and mental health, Kathleen makes the most daunting topics accessible with bright, witty, and welcoming humour.

"A wonderful performer with a clever and endearing outlook on life." - The Fringe Queer
