There’s something wonderfully disarming about Kathy Rivett. She doesn’t shout for attention or batter you with big gestures — she just wanders on, opens her mouth, and before you know it, the room is absolutely hers.

Kathy’s comedy is sharp, thoughtful, and gloriously relatable. She has that rare knack for spotting the absurd in everyday life and delivering it with a calm confidence that somehow makes it even funnier. No fuss, no fluff — just beautifully crafted jokes that land exactly where they’re meant to.

Her humour often feels like a conversation you didn’t realise you desperately needed: clever observations, perfectly timed pauses, and punchlines that sneak up on you. One minute you’re nodding along, the next you’re laughing far louder than you planned to.

What really sets Kathy apart is her authenticity. She’s smart without being smug, warm without being soft, and confident without ever feeling forced. It’s comedy that trusts the audience — and rewards them for paying attention.

If you get the chance to see Kathy Rivett live, take it. You’ll leave feeling lighter, sharper, and very glad you were in the room. Quiet brilliance has never been so funny.

You can watch Kathy at the Lowry on Thursday 19 March, at their scratch night.
