Tired of the conventions of both the left and right, KMT - acronym for the Caribbean Patois expression 'kiss mi teeth', a mouth gesture used to show annoyance - is a debut hour that finds a new way to talk about politics, class, race and identity at a time both ends of the political spectrum couldn't be any further apart. Whether you agree or disagree, Athena's thought-provoking observations will have you laughing out loud. 'Authentic, beautifully pleasingly original comedy' **** (BroadwayBaby.co.uk). 'Has the crowd laughing throughout' ***** (ArtsAwardVoice.com). 'Athena's a breath of fresh air' (FunnyWomen.com).
