Make a date with Kate

Get ready for a night of high-stakes hilarity as the “Comic Queen” of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series 5, Kate Butch, descends upon Newcastle’s Dance City.

Following the sell-out success of her ‘Wuthering Shites’ tour, the fan-favorite queen is back with a daring new concept: Choose Your Own Cabaret. This isn’t your typical sit-and-stare drag show. As the title suggests, the power is shifted entirely into the hands of the audience. In a performance that feels part-cabaret, part-social experiment, and entirely unpredictable, you will decide the setlist, the punchlines, and potentially even Kate’s wardrobe. Joined by musical virtuoso Jordan Paul Clarke – famed for his work on Showstopper! The Improvised Musical – the duo must navigate a staggering 8,000 possible show combinations. Expect a cocktail of powerhouse vocals, sharp-tongued wit, and “a side of filth” that has earned Butch five-star reviews across the board. Whether she’s recounting her dubious TV history (which apparently includes three episodes of Crimewatch) or belting out a showtune you just forced her to sing, Kate’s improvisational genius ensures that no two nights are ever the same.

Kate Butch: Choose Your Own Cabaret, Saturday 9 May, Dance City, Newcastle, 7.30pm, £25.50, dancecity.co.uk
