From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kate Copstick is a Scottish television actress, television presenter, writer and director. She is best known for her roles on the children's TV shows No. 73 and ChuckleVision. She also played Marlene Marlowe in Marlene Marlowe Investigates.
She was named "Shit Journalist of the Year" in The Liar following her remarkable review of Colin & Fergus at the 2004 Edinburgh Festival. In her review, Copstick confidently informed readers of The Scotsman that Colin & Fergus should "work on their script, which has more weak spots than the Hutton Report"[citation needed]. However three days later, the show was awarded "Best Sketch Show", by the Writers' Guild of Great Britain, primarily for excellent scriptwriting.[citation needed]
Copstick, who is bisexual, is also well known as a commentator on human sexuality. She is the author of Masterclass: Girl on Girl (Forthcoming - 2008), Porn Week (2007) and The Illustrate Book of Sapphic Sex (2000). A frequent contributor to the Erotic Review, she is particularly known as an advocate of the BDSM lifestyle. In her new professional role, she has expressed a wish to be known only by her surname.
Copstick is also the producer on the Natural Born Racers series that follows the Virgin Media R6 cup which is currently filming its fifth series.
Copstick was mentioned on the Ricky Gervais live stand-up DVD for her negative review of one of his stand-up shows.
