Charismatic British Female Actor
Katie’s versatile acting work has been critically acclaimed from her comedic character work in her solo shows, her stand up comedy plus her dramatic performances for theatre and screen.
She was semi finalist in the 2014 ‘So You Think You’re Funny’ new comedian competition and her second show GRACE was nominated for Best New Play at Brighton Fringe 2018.
Currently she is creating her third show, a theatre, multimedia, comedy, cabaret and spoken word piece: EDUCATION WE DIDN’T HAVE. Her first two shows taught her alot about narrative and storylines so she’s thrilled to be working with script consultant Philip Shelley (C4 / BBC New Writing) to develop her playwriting so she has a solid foundation for her performance work.
Recently she hosted the first ever RANKINLIVE INTERVIEWS with the iconic photographer, publisher and film director, Rankin. They did a part masterclass, part interview, part shoot at The Hospital Club and are developing the show for the future.
Katie is also an experienced voice actor with a broadcast quality StudioBricks home studio. Currently nominated as “Radio Commercials – Best Performance” at the One Voice Awards 2020 she is now excited to be working in the Gaming, Animation, Anime and Radio Drama world.
Katie was recently interviewed by Jim Shembri from The Herald Sun, Australia about the life of a performer/ writer in lockdown. Her shows have featured in International and National press such as The Advertiser, The Australian, The Herald Sun, Broadway Baby, Mumble Theatre, GScene, Three Weeks, Chortle, Onya Magazine, The Fountain, The Upsider and Tulpa Magazine.
One Person Plays
Katie’s award-nominated solo show, GRACE (2018) toured: Tuxedo Cat (Adelaide Fringe Festival), The Butterfly Club (Melbourne International Comedy Festival), The Theatre Box / The Warren (Brighton Fringe Festival) and The Gilded Balloon (Edinburgh Fringe Festival).
Katie played a cast of six characters, the double act – Grace and Alfie, the female side of Alfie – Zora, Sheryl the venue manager, Anna her agent and Audrey the theatre ghost. In an old regional theatre, Alfie, a comedian who performed as the male half of a double act re-enters the stage… as Zora, a woman.
KATE MIDDLETON SHOW QUEEN was her debut show which opened at La Boheme, a 55 seater (Adelaide Fringe Festival) at the time of the Royal Wedding and transferred to Red Bennies a 300 seater (Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2013.
It was a one-woman character comedy show about Kate Middleton’s lookalike being hired by the Palace to cover Kate on Maternity Leave. Katie played Kate Middleton’s lookalike, her mother, a meditation guru, an actress friend and a ghost.
Director Testimonial
Katie Reddin-Clancy is quite simply one of the hardest-working and most tenaciously determined artists I have met and had the privilege to work with on a number of occasions. She is unrelenting in her self-discipline and ability to take on complex notes and dramaturgic concepts that would render a lesser artist catatonic in her stride – or, if she feels she must fight for her choices she does so with professionalism and respect.
Her artistic sensibilities are wide and often surprising, citing Brecht one moment and Bronksi Beat the next, all in service of the content and context of the personal journey she is sharing. Her work – sometimes to her chagrin – has often been compared to Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and it took me a while to realise the umbrage taken was not the flattery of the comparison. It was that they come from dramatically different perspectives but both are generously open about the personal investment in their work. Blood, tears and dreams are on her work, I have never doubted.I love working with Katie, and know we shall do so many more times. She is a disciplined and elegant writer, a unanimously praised versatile actress and a good human. She has my validation on any project one is lucky enough to have her on. She will always go above and beyond.
