- If Kate's not performing at your local/favourite club then we strongly suggest you ask them to book her, start a petition, picket outside the club and show up with swarms of friends chanting her name. You are the audience in these places and you can have what you want if you just ask loud enough - and what you want is definitely Kate! Thanks very much, see you there.
Looking for Kate's News Podcast?

Kate's Quite Sarcastic Almost Daily News Podcast has died. Some time ago. Before it did it moved to a blog all of it's own. You can listen to it - and read the script - by clicking on the linked text. Alternatively you can go and listen to it (no script) on PodOmatic by clicking this button here:
Stick around here for all the usual Cru-blog stuff, feminism, secularism, politics and stand-up comedy. Thanks.
