Kate Cheka

alright lets do this… a gorgeous fringe was had this year 💫 I truly feel very lucky to have not only survived but somehow thrived eight months pregnant in this absolute carnage of a festival… 🎡🎪

I am so grateful to so many people lemme see if my baby brain can remember who

first I wanna thank The Voodoo Rooms they were truly a venue of dreams, their staff are stunning angels that made going in everyday a dream 🪽

thanks Steve McLean and PBH’s Free Fringe for getting me the room and your support to make my fringe as easy as could be while pregnant and for your quite frankly revolutionary free fringe which means mama actually made money for her baby 💸

the biggest thanks to my friend of seven years matthew who did a phenomenal job directing my show (and charging me nothing for it) and them and their boyfriend .amh for putting me up and then letting me stay far longer than our initial arrangement. I will feel weird not waking up in your living room tomorrow and seeing you both every day 🥲

shoutout also to my gay dad and his bf for having me for the first week and making my birthday cake 🎂

thank you to my emotional support tech Chloe Jacobs 🌝 who kept me sane every day and laughed every time I added a new joke - she is hilariously funny please follow her

and to Laila and Willow Raynor who picked up the slack for the final shows 🪅

thanks for all the lovely reviews from national newspapers 📰 !!!! to audiences members and friends of friends

thanks to the ✨🏆THE CVNTY AWARDS🏆✨ for my first fringe award for MOTHER I could not be more honoured 🏆 and thanks to all my many many friends, performers and otherwise who invited me to do gigs, kept me sane and came with me to the beach, for walks, for drinks and who flew in or drove up, idk I don’t have more pictures of us but know I love you 💛

and finally THANK YOU TO EVERY AUDIENCE MEMBER THAT CAME TO MY SHOW it truly meant the most that so many of you showed up, took a punt on me and were present with me in what was one of the most difficult shows to perform… if you’ve seen the show you know it’s the end for now but something else will come soon 💫 (cont. in comments)
