Kate Butch

Kate Butch is an award-winning menace to society who is perhaps best known for competing on Series 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, becoming one of its breakout stars. Elsewhere on TV, she has won Celebrity Mastermind and appeared in multiple episodes of the BBC One sitcom The Power of Parker.

She is an award-winning stand-up comedian, enjoying sold-out Edinburgh Fringe runs of her shows Kate If You Wanna Go Butcher and Wuthering Shites, which went on a smash-hit UK tour in 2025. In 2023 she made her West End debut in Tuckshop’s Sleeping Beauty at the Harold Pinter Theatre, before returning to the West End stage in 2024's Peter Pan. She co-hosts the podcast Queers Gone By, which The Guardian dubbed one of the world’s funniest podcasts, and she is currently writing her first novel. Her new show, Choose Your Own Cabaret, will tour the UK in 2026.

Kate has performed with drag icons Sasha Velour and Bob the Drag Queen, pop princess JADE, and even one of the Cheeky Girls. Unfortunately, she can't remember which one.
