Cooking with Kathryn

Written and Performed by Kate Owens
Directed by Deby Xiadani

Follow a down-home, liquored-up southern belle as she stumbles her way to her own birthday party with more wine in her veins than Jesus. Kathryn rewards her party guests with an easy-peasy egg-bake cooking demo the problem is, she cant even see straight, much less teach a cooking lesson. Kate has been developing this Amy Sedaris-inspired character for the past three years, and the PortFringe review team called it A no-fear comedy, this show is a must see, as well as Furious, gratuitous, and moving" and maybe "the best show...at PortFringe. A digital series of Cooking with Kathryn is in post-production and will debut in Spring 2020.

A no-fear comedy, this show is a must see. - PortFringe review team

Cooking with Kathryn grabs you immediately with a fantastic premise, then pulls you along, gasping for air, as you watch Kathryn slowly dissolve into a pink puddle of repressed Southern rage. - PortFringe review team

Furious, gratuitous, and moving, this might be the best show you will see at PortFringe.- PortFringe review team
