Kathy Deitch, or: The Wickedy, Wickedy Witch Hunter
Kathy Deitch made her Broadway debut in the original cast of FOOTLOOSE and later created the role of Shen Shen in the smash Broadway hit WICKED. She made her LA acting debut at the Hollywood Bowl in RENT directed by Neil Patrick Harris. Other credits include: SILENCE! THE MUSICAL (LA Weekly Award), AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW, and the thriller LOFT, opposite Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet and MAGIC MIKE XXL.
In looking to combat body bias, she co-created PLUS THIS! SHOW, a weekly vodcast on UBN GO that highlights fat women & non-binary folx and their allies, spotlighting creatives (Chrissy Metz, Retta, Our Lady J), academic powerhouses (Dr. Lindo Bacon, Christy Harrison, Dr. Sabrina Strings) and fat activist icons (Marilyn Wann, Da'Shaun Harrison, Ragen Chastain). Now fully saturated in anti-body bias work, she has produced many fat friendly events in LA, programmed panels to discuss body bias (most recently at BroadwayCon in NYC) and is a founding member of Fatch Comedy, a fat femme sketch comedy group which was at the SF Sketchfest right before lockdown. She's had monthly articles for Better Books for Living and has been featured in SLiNK & FabUPlus magazines, SoulPancake, and Home & Family on the Hallmark Channel. Plus This IG
