Katy Schutte – Original Review
Note: This review is from 2007
Review by Steve Bennett
Newish act Katy Schutte takes to the stage with a ukulele, fast becoming the prop du jour for any comic wanting a visual shorthand to show their quirkiness. And, as expected, she strums a whimsical love song – but it’s nothing special.Schutte’s smart, nerdy and knowing, but her part-ironic, part-intellectually snobby tone of voice is too familiar, shared by an ever-growing number of geeky-but-superior comics. Yet when your best-received gag is how a Mensa alternative for thick people should be called Densa, the quality of the writing isn’t matching up to the image.
