About the Artist

1000 Kates is an annual night of shameless ecstatic lushness using Kate Bush’s craft as the
source material. Through dance, costume, spectacle, humor, video, music and song these
performances LET THE WEIRDNESS IN. Inspired by NYC’s long running Night of 1000 Stevies,
friends and artists—Cookie Factorial, Danielle Redden, and Crystal Kovacs—launched
1000 Kates in 2014 at the Barbary. Over the past 12 years hundreds of glorious freaks, most
hailing from PHILADELPHIA, have performed. Next show: March, 2026
