Kate Dolan: Trout
Avalon • Professional company
About Avalon
Kate Dolan is a comedian presented by Avalon whose new show Trout asks whether being a fish in the river is nicer than being a woman on land. Her stand-up is described as rapid-fire and off-kilter, combining voices, act-outs, and asides. She has won the Skinny-Fest Festival Breakthrough Award and Melbourne Comedy Festival's Golden Gibbo Independent Show Award, both in 2025.
Why see this show?
Kate Dolan's stand-up is quick, strange, and built from a genuinely odd angle — the fish-versus-woman question is not quite a metaphor and not quite literal, and that ambiguity keeps the hour interesting.
