Smart, funny, engaging....we loved her in Exeter where she shone next to 4 mediocre/offensive acts. She just 'gets it'. fee, March 2013 |

As a compere she competes with the other acts and God help any female who is on the same bill as her. If you are going to be that dislikeable on stage, you need to up your game and be very funny. Old fashioned, derivative and not very likeable. Sorry Kate. Steve, January 2013 |

Saw Kate MC recently and she was brilliant, managed to control the rather rowdy audience, make some accurate and wry observations on life, while telling some belly laughingly funny jokes. Cant wait to see her again. Michelle, September 2012 |

A decent compere who has learned from others and using stock lines. but that's all. She gets on the telly because she works for little or no money and is willing to make a fool of herself. The problem is that she just isn't likeable enough to do that type of political comedy. Offering an opinion is not the same as offering insight. Middle class and left wing cliche that may have worked in the 80's but doesn't cut it now. It has nothing to do with her being female either. There are many excellent female comics out there. She just isn't anywhere near as good as she thinks she is. Don't give up Kate, but focus on being funny and have some respect for your audience and your fellow comics. Tracy, August 2012 |

About as funny as a diagnosis of herpes. Quiet clearly she would be better suited to a career in politics not comedy. Wears her feminism/trite left wing causes badge next to her "I'm clever/ I've been to Oxbridge" badge (dunno if she has but I'd lay £50 on it) To be avoided at all costs...

If you want to recreate the style simply read a particularly self absorbed and strident Guardian article and then whack yourself in the face with a stale custard pie. Funny? I think not. Doubtless plays well to other humourless politicos who have doubtless formed a support group and now attend her gigs on a regular basis... Nick, August 2011 |

I am a big fan of comedy so I go to a lot of different gigs, and I must say Kate Smurthwaite is easily one of the sharpest, funniest comedians on the circuit. Plus, I don't know what 'Charlotte' was basing her opinion on, but Kate is also an excellent MC - razor sharp, and quick with the comebacks, I can't imagine a heckler she couldn't handle! Two thumbs way up! Robbie, July 2011 |

I've seen Kate a few times now an everytime I really enjoy her. She has a way of warming up an audience better than most MCs do and ensures the audience is already laughing when a comic comes on stage. I don't know how she comes up with some of her observations - sheer genius Steve, July 2011 |
