Los Angeles based actor, writer and director Katierose Enriquez created the solo show "Queen of Fishtown" which is returning to New York City following award winning runs at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Hollywood Fringe Festival, in London at the King’s Head Theatre, at Theatre Row on 42nd Street, and in Philadelphia at Plays and Players Theatre where Katierose performed her show in the city that inspired it.
"Katierose has created such a heartfelt and honest story with a perfect unsung hero. That's not a character we hear from very often and it's about damn time she gets her own show. It's hilarious but I didn't expect to be so moved by it..."
-- Andrew Rannells (Girls, Book of Mormon, Black Monday, Boys in the Band)
“In this one woman show, Katierose brings Kathleen to life with a fantastic narrative of a 40-year-old woman, dealing with change to the neighbourhood she has grown up with and the dramatic changes in her own life. She also brings to life all the other characters in the plot in this truly poignant and hilarious piece of work, a somewhat Irish stubborn humour made better with the fantastic Philly accent.” – The Artiscape
“The prime strength of Queen of Fishtown to my mind is the voice it affords to a certain kind of woman in our society, not necessarily from Northeast Philly, who is often overlooked or ignored” RECOMMENDED - Deborah Klugman at Stage Raw
Awards:
* Best Character Driven Solo Show Fireworks Award at Edinburgh Festival Fringe
* Platinum Award, TVolution for Best Female Solo Show at Hollywood Fringe
* Best of Broadwater Encore Award Hollywood Fringe
* Namba Performing Arts Encore Winner
* Best Solo Show Hollywood Fringe Nominee
* SPLASH Award Female Voices Nominee
Katierose has her MFA from American Repertory Theater’s Institute at Harvard University and the Moscow Art Theatre and is an alumnus of the Groundlings Sunday Company. Her solo sketch showcase, “THAT WOMAN!” was directed by Saturday Night Live's writer and cast member, Mikey Day.
Acting TV credits: 2 Broke Girls (CBS), How I Met your Mother (CBS), The Comeback (HBO), Future Man (HULU), American Crime (ABC), Astronomy Club (NETFLIX)

Hailing from Bedfordshire, England, growing up on the American roots music of her Anglo-Indian grandmother’s record collection, singer/songwriter Danni Nicholls has been paving her way in UK Americana for over a decade, building a loyal fan base and much critical praise. “I absolutely love the beauty and elegance of her music” - Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2. With the wind still in her sails from three consecutive Americana Music Association UK award nominations (Album, Artist and Song of the year in 2017, 2018 & 2020 respectively) plus extensive tours and opening slots with the likes of The Secret Sisters, Shakin' Stevens and Lucinda Williams, Danni, her powerful, arresting voice and her dynamically poetic original songs are ever-gaining presence and reach. April 12th 2019 saw the release of Danni's third studio album The Melted Morning. Produced by Jordan Brooke Hamlin (The Indigo Girls, Lucy Wainwright-Roche) at the idyllic woodland studio MOXE, Nashville TN, The Melted Morning is a collection of closely personal yet widely relatable songs.The themes of this album span an array of life’s takeaways; from the pain and darkness of rejection, the fear of losing yourself and the power of human connection to offering up hope, light and new perspectives in the face of adversities. “I needed a new challenge, a new landscape to work in sonically, physically, energetically and viscerally. Collaborating with Jordan and this incredible team of women gave me that opportunity and we have created a delicate, vibey, honest and vulnerable collection of songs. We dove deep to find out who they wanted to become”. This team team is made up of the cream of the Nashville crop including Annie Clements (Maren Morris, Amos Lee), Larissa Maestro (Margo Price) Jordan Hamlin (Brandi Carlile, Katie Herzig), Engineer, Gena Johnson (Jason Isbell, John Prine) and background vocals from grammy award nominated duo The Secret Sisters. “Working with almost exclusively women for this project felt like the most natural and obvious path, partly out of a desire for a whole new record-making experience and knowing wholeheartedly I wanted to work with Jordan in this inspiring safe-haven she has built and partly because it just feels good and important to play a small part in addressing the ongoing gender imbalance in the music industry. But mostly because I admire and respect these people immensely and felt they were the absolute right people to help bring these songs to life”.Her vibrant, captivating performances are guaranteed to melt your heart into the soles of your boots. Danni’s passionate delivery, captivating velvet voice and charmingly engaging between-song banter compel you to fall under her spell.You can follow Danni and her music at the links below:Website: https://www.danninicholls.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danninichollsmusicYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/danninichollsmusicSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3eD9PioRhPQtJOWTM3Od1R?si=y-MuSCLEQMiPuC9qaYVLaQ&dl_branch=1Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/gb/artist/danni-nicholls/355381948Instagram @danninichollsmusicWe discuss the subject of fear a lot in this episode and a video I have found to be very helpful to me personally that we talk about is linked below - Lindsayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5nVqeVhgQE
