Multi-award-winning comedian Kate Dolan brings her third consecutive show to the Fringe, with a brand new hour of rapid fire, high-energy and absurdist stand-up. Trout unspools the idea that in 2026 being a fish in the river might be nicer than a woman on land. Dolan won the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2025 Golden Gibbo Award for best independent local artist with her 2025 show The Critic, making her the first Brit and first non-Australian in over 20 years to win the award.
