Kate Berlant. Actress: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Kate Berlant is an actress, stand-up comedian, and writer who was recently profiled by The New York Times as a "magnetic improvisational comic" at the forefront of experimental comedy. Kate was named a New Face at the 2014 Montreal Comedy Festival and was one of Comedy Central's Top Ten Comics to Watch in 2013. The show finds Berlant playing "Herself" in a one-woman show — an actor and comic telling the story of how she came to be a performer. In the show within the show, she also appears as Berlant plays a clerk selling tickets at a Los Angeles movie theater. The year is 1969, and the theater is showing "The Wrecking Crew," a spy spoof starring Dean Martin and Sharon Tate. At the time, Tate ― played by Margot Robbie ― was a rising star best known for "Valley of the Dolls" and her tabloid-friendly marriage to Kate Berlant is turning the rules of what's funny upside down. Now the US standup is bringing her surreal one-woman show to the UK. Eva Wiseman. Sun 27 Aug 2023 05.00 EDT. Share.
