The Spinster and the Slut – NZ Fringe 2023

Kristeene is a geriatric spinster who likes an early night. Kate is a middle-aged slut who likes it every night. Together they explore their polar opposite experiences – meandering their way through this conundrum of existence via comedy, poetry, and storytelling. Sexy, sultry, saucy meets cuddly, comfy, cosy.

Creatif Kate is well-known on the poetry, comedy, and cabaret circuits of Wellington. She's a multi award-winning poet, producer, performer, photographer, preacher – basically, if it starts with 'p' she's in. She's filthy, flirty, and funny; sexy, saucy, and sensational; raunchy, ridiculous and ravishing. You won't believe what comes out of her lips. Kate's debut solo show "Squirt" won a tour ready award and the sequel "Squirt 2: Cum Again?!" won a marketing award. She was nominated multiple times at the 2021 and 2022 Wellington Comedy Awards, winning "Most Innovative" for her producing in 2021 and Best Regular Show for Femmes & Thems in 2022.

Kristeene Parkes has been a regular on the Wellington comedy and poetry circuit for the past two years. She is a graduate from the Neil Thorndon School of Comedy, and won the 2022 Wellington Haiku Death Match. She is known for her witty take on getting old and lamenting her complete lack of love life, being the "straight geriatric spinster with the lousy social skills” all the while trying to remove the tons of cat hair from her clothes. She recently had her first novel – ‘Rocking the Spinsterhood’ – published and has dreams of writing more. She is a great story teller who is capable of stretching the truth to the point of absurd exaggeration. She has no filter and grew up in a time when ‘political correctness’ hadn’t been invented, and ‘being woke’ was the state you were in once the alarm went off in the morning.
