Prepare your mind, body and spirit for a white-knuckle ride through the musings of a potentially higher power, clad in a pink jumpsuit, as Funny Women Award-winner Kate Cheka brings her debut stand up show to the Fringe. Putting the world to rights and making the case for her divine status in a yurt lit with pastel lights, Cheka discusses everything from family, race and the environment to the Kardashians, drugs and threesomes in Berlin. Reminiscent of a sleepover in heaven, the atmosphere is contemplative and no-holds-barred as stories rush in and out of focus.

While we’re regaled with tales of her travels, politics and, of course, Bob Geldof, the audience are quickly drawn into Kate’s world and end up feeling welcome to share our own. By the end of the set, Cheka has us all planning the revolution, and, pushing the limits of audience participation, swept up in a singalong socialist rendition of ‘Do They Know It's Christmas?’.

Witty and charming, this comedian’s Fringe run will surely be followed by many more, hopefully before she runs off to the woods to eat berries (with a guillotine and DJ in tow). Cheka clearly has a determination to stick to her values while lighting the comedy world on fire with one of her own sacred heart candles. And judging by the reaction of the audience, if god is a woman, Cheka might just have the masses converted.
