“An exciting young talent” - Louis Theroux
Freya Mallard

In addition to this, she is also the resident host of the sell-out monthly comedy nights at Angel Comedy, Mazel Tov and Cocktails and Treif Comedy. Unashamed to tackle important issues with a tongue-in-cheek charm, Katie finds humour in personal and societal issues and has been praised by many for her writing.
"A to-die-for opening gag...Price does more than enough to prove she can write a good gag" - Chortle
"Excellent stage presence and pinpoint accurate writing" - Helen Lederer, BBC and David Morgan, Comedy Central
"I don't often watch someone where I think 'I wish I'd written that' but I thought that about 15 times watching you, fast and fucking furious. Really brave" - Scott Capurro
