About Kat Woods
NON HUMAN ANIMAL is a dark Irish comedy written and directed by Kat Woods, performed at the Billiard Room at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show is inspired by real events and follows Róisín, a young woman from Fermanagh who draws unexpected parallels between herself and Batman — though she is poor, not a vigilante, and her city is not Gotham. Her father was murdered. The show explores justice, grief, and the strange comfort found in junk food and television. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Dark, funny and rooted in something real — this is Irish comedy with genuine emotional weight. Kat Woods builds a character who is both absurdly relatable and quietly devastating. A compelling hour that earns its laughs honestly.
