From Norris & Parker to Solo Star

Known as one half of cult duo Norris & Parker, Katie has already made a name for herself with multiple sell-out runs at the Fringe and Soho Theatre, plus appearances on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show and DMs Are Open. Now solo, she’s proving herself one of the most exciting voices in musical and character comedy.
