Cat Alvarado - Trad-wife

Award winning US comedian Cat Alvarado eviscerates America's increasingly absurd rightwing culture while transforming religious trauma into healing laughter with her charm and impeccable comedic timing.

In this incendiary stand-up show, Cat Alvarado makes razor-sharp observations about everything from TikTok traditionalism to conservative Christian nationalism. Cat tackles the absurdity of dating apps and what happens when your country starts moving backward while you're desperately trying to move forward.

This show offers Australian audiences a front-row seat to America's cultural breakdown, guided by someone who escaped the evangelical bubble and lived to tell the tale. From her teenage years playing shaker egg in the church band to her current bewilderment at America's descent into manosphere madness, Cat's storytelling weaves personal evolution with blistering political satire.

This isn't just comedy about personal trauma – it's a brilliant dissection of a nation losing its mind, delivered with the perfect blend of fury and forgiveness. Whether you're horrified by America's rightward swing or just fascinated by the trainwreck, this show delivers belly laughs and uncomfortable truths about what happens when a country chooses chaos over common sense.

Cat Alvarado has performed stand up across the US and Canada for over 10 years. In 2022 she won a Hollywood Fringe Producer's Encore award and was honored at the Great American Comedy Festival. She released a comedy album in 2023 with Blonde Medicine records called "Off-White", which can be heard on Sirius XM, Spotify and YouTube. Most recently, in 2025 she won the Best Stand Up award at the Hollywood 30 Minutes or Less Fest. Cat Alvarado's stand up has also been featured on the TV shows LMAO Comedy and First Nations Comedy Experience.
