Katierose is one of the most gifted performers I’ve ever had the good fortune to see grace the stage! Her show is like watching a masterclass in how to honestly and wholeheartedly embody a character. Kathleen Burke will break your heart, make you laugh and rile you up. A must watch!!!! ...

What starts as a fairly straightforward hometown solo show escalates to an absolutely explosive examination of a woman’s serious anger issues. Katierose is incredibly intense in her portrayal. I’d heard of people getting so wound up a vein pops out in their head, but I had never actually SEEN it happen until I saw her perform. Having been to Philadelphia a number of times, I can attest to this endearing tribute to the “city of brotherly spite.”...

Super entertaining. Katierose seamlessly jumped from character to character in a way that made me forget this was a one woman show. Do yourself a favor and just go see it. ...

Queen of Fishtown knocked my socks off!!!
Katierose knows her audience and has us in the palm of her hands from the start. She relentlessly draws our laughter out until our guards are down, and then stares unflinchingly at us with all the fury and rage and futility pent up from a lifetime of mocking her own big hearted love. As she opens her own heart, so too do we.
She’s created an uncensored, caricatured amalgamation of a sub-culture that is oh so very real. ...
