Katie Tracey

Actress, writer and stand-up comic Katie Tracey has been honing her comedy skills and talents on the UK comedy scene for only a short time, but her stage presence has not gone un-noticed as she is already widely regarded as one of the best female comedians in the North West.

Raised in Liverpool, Katie travels to various comedy nights to entertain a range of audiences, impressing them with her cheeky humour, affable manner and her shining ability to make friends with the audience. Not only is Katie a funny lady on stage, she is also an actor and blessed with great script writing talents, which have seen her write and perform at sold-out plays at The Liverpool Actor’s Studio.

In Katie’s first year of stand up in 2012, she was runner-up in the prestigious Funny Women Awards at Liverpool’s Unity Theatre and has been tour support for TV and Radio regular Arthur Smith.

Katie is a comedy natural. Guaranteed to get any audience on-side in moments with her brash insights and disarming charisma, the hilarity comes in effortless torrents from this scouse comic expert!

Her style is observational and identifiable, with a little bit of a dark side. Katie has also acted in local theatre and has written and performed in her own comedy Ladies Day.

Brendan has toured all over the UK and abroad in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Dubai and many overseas performances for the Ministry of Defence including a tour of Afghanistan in 2014. Brendan has also performed in Europe for TED Talent working for Sensatori Resorts
