Kate Valentine is one of the instigators of the feminist neo-burlesque movement. The Va Va Voom Room was her weekly variety show running at the beloved cabaret space Fez Under Time Café in NYC. Her hilariously deadpan mistress of ceremonies character Miss Astrid traveled all over the globe entertaining audiences with her quick improvisational wit.
Concurrently, Ms. Valentine wrote and starred in many sketch comedy shows and directed and created works of experimental dance theatre. Directing credits include The Terrorism of Everyday Life, which won a Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Festival.
Get tickets to this Sunday’s, October 6, 2024, performance of A Woman of a Certain Rage, 8pm at the Orpheum in Saugerties. It is Kate’s first full length solo show. “A romp, a rant, a bloodletting, about living in a female body in the 21st century. A vivisection of the American medical system. Your Doctor is in and he has been diagnosed with white male privilege. Ms. Valentine is filling your prescription for dismantling the patriarchy!”
This 70-minute show utilizes raw personal stories, physical comedy, dance, and pure undiluted female energy. A Woman of a Certain Rage is a call to action — to project our Rage out into the world and to utilize that heat to propel us into a dynamic harmonious future.
Today Kate shared about why she created this performance, and some of the background around the content of the performance including the physical and emotion experiences that led to a deeper awareness of the harms she’d experienced in life. A goal for this show is to help galvanize support for the long overdue passage of the ERA through.

“Solar Eclipses also remind us that confusion, disorientation, and chaos often precede clarity: they invite us to deepen our introspection and encourage us to come back to alignment before continuing to move forward.”
We listened to music from these ladies.
Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.
Our show music is from Shana Falana!
