In her first year, she won her London heat and performed in the semi-finals of the ‘So You Think You’re Funny’ competition for new acts at The Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh Fringe, 2014. She played various clubs such as The Camden Head, Up The Creek and The Cavendish Arms.

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.

PRESS REVIEWS:
SOLO SHOW - GRACE
“The strength of this show is Katie’s razor sharp…barbed tongue and her skill as a comedian. Katie is a skilled performer with fantastic delivery – I look forward to seeing her shine.”
One4Review
“Beautiful…haunting and poetic…Deliciously observed character comedy. GRACE is a high reaching, mesmerising and witty piece of comedy theatre. Reddin-Clancy’s performance is powerful, intelligent and funny. Go see this show for laughs and food for thought.”
Mumble Theatre
“Reddin-Clancy creates some wonderful characterisations and the comic delivery
of the stand-up aspects of the script is spot on…its heart is pure and strong.”
Broadway World
“Some performances defy genre and this production features elements of solo theatre, sketch comedy and stand-up. Essentially, it’s a one-person play about gender identity but that description does Grace and its writer/performer Katie Reddin-Clancy a disservice. With an opening that feels like character stand-up, Reddin-Clancy quickly establishes themselves as having solid comedy chops with the character of Sheryl, an extremely British middle-class theatre manager stuck with trying to explain why the act we’re here to see isn’t yet on stage. With many a witty aside and rambling opinions on everything from Brexit politics to dating, Sheryl is an engaging character and, when her part is over, I’m sad to see
her go.”
Broadway Baby
“Katie Reddin-Clancy’s acting and delivery were superb, turning into a (at least) six woman show. Her brilliance shines in the details… The writing was clever, authentic and witty.”
The Advertiser
“A remarkable, versatile talent who sets a very high bar indeed.”
Herald Sun
“A barn-storming whirlwind performance by Katie, whose talent to create so many different characters is amazing. Tremendous hour of thought-provoking fun.”
GScene
“The characters belong in the acting world, an intriguing environment that provides a perfect set up for self directed humour… The quick, sarcastic gags and sharp dialogue was well written and Reddin-Clancy did a brilliant job.”
Ed Fest Mag
“The fringe is perfect for performances like Grace: it’s not quite theatre, or comedy… full of fascinating contradictions…Through a series of ‘talking heads’-style monologues, ‘Grace’ skirts the distinction between truth and illusion in a cleverly- written comedy cabaret. At once confusing and clear, it draws interesting comparisons between acting and gendered behaviour, with pointed commentaries about the drag and theatre industries. The writing is sharp and the acting good.”
Three Weeks
“Through humour, thought-provoking discussion, and character development, GRACE slowly uncovers its core: a story about identity and love. It explores quite intrinsic elements of humanity while maintaining humour and wit throughout. Charming, funny, and witty, GRACE is perfectly pitched to elicit the audience’s responses at every moment. Mixing humour, seriousness, and irreverence, the blend of the performance is something that almost should not work – yet somehow, by the skill of Reddin-Clancy as a performer, it works. Remarkable in its originality and daring, Grace is an excellent performance showcasing a talented performer’s ability to adopt new and distinct personas deftly.”
