Olga Koch: Fat Tom Cruise

Olga Koch brings her sharp, tech-infused comedy to Glasgow with her latest show, *Fat Tom Cruise*. Known for blending personal anecdotes with her background in computer science and social science, Koch's stand-up often explores themes of identity, family, and modern life. Her Russian-British upbringing and academic work on parasocial relationships add a unique intellectual edge to her performances.

Attendees can expect a mix of witty observations and storytelling, delivered in Koch's distinctive American-accented English. The show premiered at Soho Theatre London in early 2026 and has been touring since. Koch's previous Edinburgh Fringe shows, such as *Fight* and *Just Friends*, have earned critical acclaim, including a Best Newcomer nomination at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.

This Glasgow date is part of a wider tour, offering a chance to see a comedian who regularly appears on BBC panel shows like *QI* and *Mock the Week*, and hosts the podcast *Glue Factory*. Her comedy is both intelligent and accessible, making for an engaging night out.
