 Catherine Tate
A graduate of the Central School of Speech and Drama and Royal National Theatre, London-born Catherine Tate spent a year with the Royal Shakespeare Company before turning her hand to stand-up comedy.
She appeared in the Channel 4 sketch show Barking, That Peter Kay Thing and The Harry Hill Show before becoming part of Lee Mack's Perrier-nominated New Bits show at Edinburgh in 2000. She returned to the festival the following year with her own, one-woman show. Parts in Big Train, Attention Scum and the television version of the satirical website TVGo91Èȱ¬ soon followed.
After being spotting by a casting director at Edinburgh, Tate was offered the role of Angela in the Dawn French vehicle Wild West, and soon after filming wrapped, her own sketch show on 91Èȱ¬2, The Catherine Tate Show, was commissioned. In it, she revives the character-based comedy that brought her such acclaim at Edinburgh. The series was a sleeper hit in 2004.
Tate has recently appeared in the second series of Wild West on 91Èȱ¬1.
