You're Not in the West End Now - Folkestone LIVE

You're Not in the West End Now
by Katie McGarry
You're Not in the West End Now! is a riotous, heartfelt musical comedy from Katie McGarry that flips the glitz of London’s theatre scene on its head. Born from the grit of Medway and the chaos of real life, this one-woman show is a love letter to musical theatre—with a twist.
Forget chandeliers and velvet curtains—welcome to the “Twix Club,” a budget-friendly, brilliantly scrappy alternative to the West End’s KitKat Club. Armed with a big voice and even bigger stories, Katie takes audiences on a whirlwind journey through showbiz dreams, romantic disasters, single motherhood, and the occasional mental breakdown—all set to the soundtrack of musical theatre’s greatest hits.
It’s part parody, part personal memoir, and all heart. Whether you’re a die-hard musical fan or a self-proclaimed theatre skeptic, Katie’s sharp wit and raw honesty will have you laughing, crying, and cheering by the final curtain.
Presented in partnership with Phoenix Arts Club and Screaming Alley CIC, this Fringe Festival hit is a must-see for anyone who’s ever chased a dream—or tripped over it in high heels.
Come for the showtunes, stay for the truth.
