ERIKA RATCLIFFE
ERIKA RATCLIFFE
(*1993, Vienna/Austria) is a comedian with roots in Austria and Japan. In 2017 she won the “Bird”, the E-Kleinkunstvogel, at the Grazer Kleinkunstwettbewerb, a cabaret competition in Graz. The jury was persuaded by her wittiness, her self-irony, her courage and her linguistic awareness. Her first solo programme, GEIL (2019), has captivated the Austrian, and soon the German, audience. Inspired by American stand-up comedy, she goes “there where it hurts: racism, hardcore feminism and vaginal mycocis. Radcliffe knows no taboo and finds her very own voice precisely in this lack of restraint.”1
