ABOUT

Night of 1000 Kates is an evening shameless ecstatic lushness in Philadelphia, using Kate Bush’s craft as the source material.

Inspired by NYC’s long running Night of 1000 Stevies, friends and artists—Cookie Factorial, Danielle Redden, and Crystal Kovacs—launched Night of 1000 Kates in Philadelphia in 2014.

Over the past eleven years hundreds of dancers, musicians, magicians, storytellers, performance artists, and freaks - mostly hailing from Philly - have performed in this special evening of revelry. 

This year’s show is brought to you with love by co-producers Danielle Redden, Jay Roselius and Leigh Huster; and the scores of freaks who will take the stage!

“tonight my dragons, tonight we are home…”

- Danielle Redden, poem from 2018 Night of 1000 Kates
