ABOUT
Award-winning comedian Kate Pinchuck attempts to navigate millennial angst and the societal pressure to have a house, 2.4 kids, a thriving career, and zero mental health issues by the age of 31, even though she is 31 and has none of those things. It’s fine though - she has a comedy show instead, and it turns out, sometimes moving back in with your psychologist parents in your 30s can be hilarious, especially because you don’t have to do your own laundry. Being an adult is terrifying, but don’t panic. She’s going to talk you through it.
“[Kate] effortlessly turn[s] life challenges that most people would find taboo into comedic gold” - Cue Online
19:00 for 19:30 at Toneelhuis on Bree Street

About the director:
Nik Rabinowitz was born in a converted stable on a farm outside Cape Town, South Africa. He grew up climbing pine trees and commentating on his own rugby games in three of the country’s eleven official languages, later attending a Waldorf school, where he learned how to plant organic vegetables, express his feelings through interpretative dance, and crochet his own underpants. He is unofficially recognised as the world’s leading Xhosa-speaking Jewish legspinner of Lithuanian descent.
