Like most Canadians, Catherine was raised to be polite. As she gets older and after years in Australia, she kind of can’t be bothered. Sorry. Please and Thank Yous will have you snorting (laughs, not coke) as Catherine battles to overcome her good girl persona.
Catherine’s debut hour of stand up is about the high expectations we live with, wrapped in jokes about breastfeeding mishaps and masturbating dogs. Catherine McClintock is a comedian, nurse, mum and certified fun person. She is also a smug Canadian who married a Tasmanian. The two-time RAW Comedy state-finalist has performed all over Tasmania and now Victoria – fancy!
In her spare time Catherine loves long walks on the beach. Ok, short walks. Ok, the beach is visible on her laptop screensaver... in her lounge room, where she sits with air-con, chocolate and Netflix. Warning: Contains moderate coarse language, some infrequent/low pressure audience interaction, potentially triggering content or themes, including Drug References,Sexual References,Death
Catherine McClintock is apologetically naughty, like your best straight-laced friend who’s had too much champers. After a cracking start at Fringe at the Edge of the World and Laughs of Launnie Comedy Festival, the former Tassie-based comedian brings Please and Thank Yous to the 2019 Melbourne Fringe Festival. In her debut solo stand-up show, Catherine skilfully identifies the expectations we live with and joyfully rejects them. A unique voice on the comedy scene, audiences will delight in Catherine’s insightful observations wrapped in silly, scrote-covered packaging (expect a scrotum joke or three).
A two-time RAW Comedy state-finalist, Catherine has been a fixture of the Tasmanian comedy scene since her debut, performing at Fresh Comedy, Jokers Comedy and many others, supporting acts such as Judith Lucy, Sam Simmons, Randy and Claire Hooper. The happy and silly Canadian moved to Australia in the mid-2000s where she met and married her husband, Bob, who promised her they’d live in Tasmania for “just two years” … which turned into thirteen. But who’s counting? Now based in Melbourne, Catherine is also a mum to two young children and a registered nurse. She battles a rare autoimmune disease called dermatomyositis that no one can pronounce. The doctors tell her she’s one in one hundred thousand but she likes to tell people one in a million. Audiences think so too.
