“The show where I wear my heart on my sleeve. Watch me take it, eat it and break it on stage. It might even skip a beat.”

I Fear Love is a solo show – a mishmash of game show, live comedy and memoir with a sprinkle of ted talk and choose your own adventure. Drawing inspiration directly from my personal life about love - it’s pretty much about romance and me. My hope is that it'll be both unashamedly and ashamedly honest, tender and vulnerable in its details, and lots of fun :)

“... Hilarious, vulnerable, and jaw-dropping, Katie has penned a wise, sassy, and breathtakingly contemporary love letter to love itself. When my hand wasn’t covering my mouth, it was over my heart. Wow."
