UK comedian Catherine Tate to tour New Zealand for the first time
Catherine Tate and "Nan" Taylor are coming to New Zealand for the first time.
Catherine Tate, the star of The Office, Doctor Who and of course The Catherine Tate Show, is bringing her outrageous characters to life in New Zealand for the first time.
The UK comedian will tour Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in November.
The live show is said to include never-seen-before sketches and feature some of Tate's best-known characters from the BBC series, The Catherine Tate Show, including Nan Taylor, Irish nurse Bernie, Geordie Georgie, Essex girl Sam, and her "not bovvered" teenage chav.
The hit sketch series ran for three series from 2004.
