About Perfect Improv - Kathleen Hughes Guest Monologist
Our flagship improv show with a special guest monologist and an all-star improv cast from the Glasgow Improv Theatre!
"A brilliantly fun and funny show" - Josie Long
Special guest monologist:
'Self-assuredness, confidence, charm and whip-smart wit... an incredibly funny woman' (Skinny). 'One of the bright new hopes of Scottish comedy' (Scotsman). 'A ridiculously talented comic' (Billy Kirkwood). 'Clever, open-hearted, deeply funny' (Chris Thorburn). **** (TheWeeReview.com). **** (LisaInTheTheatre.com).
Kathleen Hughes is a newcomer who is making an impact with her arrival on the comedy scene. Her fresh, insightful humour and tenacious approach has cemented her as one to watch in Scottish comedy and saw her to the final of Gilded Balloon’s national “So You Think You’re Funny?” new act competition in 2021 and the semi-finals of LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the Year 2022.
Since then, she has been entertaining audiences across Scotland, including a sell-out show at Glasgow International Comedy Festival and regular spots at The Stand comedy club. Her writing has also been featured on BBC Radio Scotland’s Breaking the News and BBC Radio 4’s Newsjack.
Tackling subjects such as identity, gender, sexuality and mental health, Kathleen makes the most daunting topics accessible with bright, witty, and welcoming humour.
Previous monologists include: Josie Long, Christopher Macarthur-Boyd, Marc Jennings, Susan Riddell, Elaine Malcolmson, Tamsyn Kelly, Stephen Buchanan & Stuart McPherson.
