Kate Smurthwaite writes and performs a brand-new stand-up show every single day of the Edinburgh Fringe, based on audience suggestions from the previous show (not Tuesdays).

After each performance, audiences suggest topics for the next. Alternatively, suggestions can be emailed to KateSmurthwaitesBrandNewShow@proton.me. Suitable for ages 18 and over.
Why see this show?
Every show is genuinely new — built on the previous night's audience suggestions with a hard cap of three minutes of old material. It's a live experiment in stand-up that makes even a single visit feel like being part of something larger.
