Edinburgh Fringe comedian Kate Smurthwaite sets impossible task of writing a new show every day of Festival (apart from Tuesdays)

August 3, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

The title of the show really says it all: Kate Smurthwaite writes and performs a brand new full-length stand-up show every single day for the entire Edinburgh Fringe based on audience suggestions from the previous day (not Tuesdays).

Kate talks about the state of the world, and how she – and the rest of us – are getting through it. With laughs, and a bit of direction when it comes to what the f*ck to do about it.
