Caitlin Cook wears many hats, she is a comedian, singer-songwriter, artist, writer, director, producer and designer. She began writing songs at age four, she's not your conventional stand-up, Caitlin combines witty one-liners and scintillating storytelling with hilariously irreverent musical comedy and projected visuals. She has taken the stage all across the US, Canada, Europe, and Oceania at top-tier venues (like the Meltdown in Los Angeles, Union Hall in Brooklyn, and the Bill Murray in London), comedy clubs (like Comedy on State in Madison, the Comedy MIX in Vancouver, and Dead Crow Comedy in Wilmington), festivals (like the New York Comedy Festival, Skankfest, and High Mud), theatres (like Theatre 99 in Charleston, the Bug Theatre in Denver, and the Throckmorton in Mill Valley), dimly lit bar basements, strangers' living rooms, and even a houseboat once.

She has two other successful musical comedy albums: Zinger-Songwriter, which she recorded at 12 different venues while on tour across the US and UK, and Betty Pitch, which she recorded after writing 250 songs a day during the pandemic. A fierce champion of mixed media and genre-bending works of art, Caitlin has carved out a space for herself smack-dab in the centre of the Venn diagram between comedy, music, and theatre.

She has a number of shows out now called The Writing on the Stall and it sounds brilliant! Links below.

Caitlin Cook became obsessed with bathroom graffiti a decade ago while she was studying art history (of course) and getting frustrated at the pretentious exclusivity of the art world.

Fascinated by this perspective, Caitlin set about creating her own art from the bon mots, wise cracks, witticisms, bizarre ponderings, and silly doodles that make up bathroom stalls across the world.

This led to the creation of The Writing on the Stall, which sold out its 2023 Off-Broadway debut and was a New York Times Critic's Pick; the accompanying studio album has over 25M+ streams.

We chat about leaving ones comfort zone, doing what scares you mentality, stage fright, sound healing, songwriting, not fitting in the 'traditional comedy box', her brand new shows in Edinburgh, graffiti and unique take on musical comedy plus plenty more!

The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day after release)!
