Career

[edit]

Kate Butch is a drag queen and stand-up comedian[4] who started her career in London in 2018. She first did drag at the age of six, when she to be the pantomime dame in her school's play.[2] Her stage name is a reference to singer Kate Bush and the lesbian slang term "butch". She studied theatre at the University of York and was the marketing and events manager for the university's Drama Society, as well as a member of the Comedy Society and the Central Hall Music Society. Kate began performing in drag with friends after being inspired by the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race. Her first performance was made at Fibbers, a venue in York.[5][6] She is also the co-host of the Queers Gone By podcast, which The Guardian deemed one of the top 50 humorous podcasts.[7][8] She performed in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe comedy shows "Drag Queens vs. Zombies" and "Drag Queens vs. Vampires" with Crudi Dench in 2022, and in her solo shows "Kate If You Wanna Go Butcher" (2017) and "Wuthering Shites" (2025).[9][10][11][12] In 2023, she competed on series 5 of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.[2]

BBC has described Kate Butch as a "tribute drag act" to their favourite artist Kate Bush.[13][14] During her time on Drag Race, Kate Butch impersonated Bush for the Snatch Game challenge and won an acting challenge.[15] She was eliminated from the competition after placing in the bottom two of the makeover challenge and losing a lip sync against DeDeLicious, placing fifth overall.[16]

In October 2023, Kate Butch spoke out against the Conservative Party when MP Tom Tugendhat jokingly changed his profile picture on Twitter to that of Butch's likeness after the two were said to look similar.[17]

On 31 December 2024, Kate Butch was the winner of BBC's Celebrity Mastermind.[18] In 2026, she returned to compete on the third series of RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World.
