Catherine Tate

What strikes me about Catherine Tate is how she embodies a truth I deeply respect: the funniest people are often the sharpest. Building an award-winning sketch show around your own name, then earning Emmy and BAFTA recognition, takes more than charm; it takes ruthless timing and the nerve to live or die by a punchline. I admire that she writes as well as performs, owning both the architecture and the delivery of her comedy. There is a fearlessness in her work, a willingness to be unflattering for a laugh, yet underneath it I always sense real warmth. She is exactly the kind of comic I find irresistible.
