We’re so excited to announce that Katie Cobalt (she/they) will be keeping things running smoothly across the socials.
Originally from Hong Kong, but spent a good chunk of time bopping around Europe, Katie now calls the UK home. She is an internationally recognised instructor, performer and certified raconteur.
As an MC Katie is always ready to hype the crowd, kill time with a Billy Strayhorn story time and be absolutely charming while doing so. They are looking forward to experiencing Welsh culture in all it's glory, beyond just Gavin and Stacey at Pass the Bounce.
