Katharine was nominated for the 2013 Fresh Meat Competition for the Tim Sims Encouragement Fund sponsored by The Second City, Toronto.

Katharine was featured on the ichannel in the stand up series No Kidding and as a panelist on Inside Joke in 2014. Katharine also ran a monthly show COMEDY INFERNO featuring the best comedians in Toronto and was the weekly headliner at the Hot Box until 2014.

After her first Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2014 as the co-feature act in Matt Henry and Friends, Katharine has moved to London, England to continue her career in her familys home country.
