The Last Funny Woman (Work in Progress)

Last year Kate attempted to save the world or as The Guardian put it… ‘political comedy may yet have found its new messiah.’ Now she thinks perhaps it is time to burn it all down. Everything is falling apart. What does it mean to be a woman (and a feminist) in the midst of an apocalypse?

Expect stories about the farmer she could have married, an awards ceremony after party, appearing on BBC Radio 4 and Berlin STI tests interspersed with razor sharp political comedy on colonialism and the rise of fascism.

Kate Cheka is an artist, stand-up comedian and writer who has performed in over ten countries across four continents. The 2023 Funny Women Award winner her debut sold out Edinburgh show received critical acclaim and went on to a Soho Theatre run and a nationwide tour. She was nominated for the 2025 DIVA Magazine Queer comedian of the year award and the Chortle 2024 Best Newcomer award and was a BBC New Comedy Award 2022 regional finalist.

As heard on The Guilty Feminist podcast, and Radio 4’s The News Quiz, The Naked Week and The Matt Forde Focus Group. “A skillful mix of raunchy, raconteurial energy and cutting social commentary, which seems to reflect the delicate modern balancing act of fighting the good fight whilst having a bloody good time before the whole thing goes up in flames” European Comedy Review
