Kate Dolan
Trout
Winner Golden Gibbo 2025 Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Winner Breakthrough Act 2025 Skinny x Fest Awards
Winner Emerging Artist Award 2024 Adelaide Fringe 2024
Nominee Best Show ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2025 (Longlist)
Rapid fire, high energy, off kilter. This is stand-up comedy but different. Join award-winning comic Kate Dolan for her brand-new hour of absurdist stand-up. Trout unspools the idea that in 2026 being a fish in the river might be nicer than a woman on land.
Expect a loud woman on stage being loud.
Directed by Emma Holland
