Short Blurb (20 words):

Multi award-winning comedian Cheekykita's one-woman, tour-de-force nonsense ride from sea to space... Longlisted for Best Show Award ISH Edinburgh Comedy 2023.

Cheekykita comes to Preston for the third time with a new show packed with same clowning and indescribable side-splitting comedy.

She boasts a reviews list longer than any other performer in the UK – and it reads like a who’s who of British comedy:

‘Hilarious' Alan Davies

‘Ridiculous in a good way’ Arthur Smith

‘Right up my street’ John Kearns

‘Clown act of the highest order, floating around in some other ether, Cheekykita is tapped into the magic a true gem’ Tom Ward

‘Brilliantly surreal and delightfully silly. Made me absolutely howl with laughter’ Ellie Taylor

‘Go see Cheekykita, mental!’' Tony Law

Reviews:

‘Hilarious, bizarre and endearing all rolled into one absolute delight of a show’ ***** Edinburgh Reviews

‘There’s a real sense of absurd originality here. It’s a weird, daft, mad chunk of comedy, a very funny, very silly, and very enjoyable work’ **** ComedyToWatch

**** DarkChat

‘It’s brilliant’ BBC Radio 4

‘Like stepping through 2001, A Space Odyssey's stargate’ Comedy.co.uk

‘Somewhere in the universe of Boosh' Chortle

‘Mancunian maverick like no one else out there’ The Alarmist
‘Like Spike Milligan on MDMA’ The List
‘Not even a show I intended to review but, after watching it, I found I had a moral obligation to do so….This act could – and should – be playing, and selling-out, big venues. I can’t wait to see her perform again. It is the silliest, maddest, funniest hour I have ever spent and it is fantastic' Fringe Review ★★★★★ 
‘It is one of those shows that I would describe as a work of genius without being able to pin down exactly why’ Lynne Parker, Funny Women ★★★★★ 
‘Like The Mighty Boosh on crack’ Broadway Baby 
‘Cheekykita is what happens when that weird lassie from high school grows up, but doesn't lose her oddity….’ The List
‘A weird but wonderful quest you will never forget' The Scotsman
‘How on earth do you describe this bonkers hour? Imagine 50% Jane Horrocks, 25% Su Pollard and 25% Charles Manson…. You couldn’t dream this. But it happened’ Fringe Review
‘A weirdo somewhere in the universe of Boosh…’ Chortle
‘One of the strangest acts you’re ever likely to see. But see her you must’ Manchester Wire
