That Catherine
Bennett Show Created
in February 2014
Bryony and her nine year old niece, Taylor, decided to play
the global tween machine at its own game by inventing dinosaur-loving, bike-riding, tuna pasta-eating,
alternative pop star Catherine Bennett.
Their aim was to make CB world famous to prove that an alternative to the current mind-numbing
offer was viable and wanted. Catherine Bennett is embodied by Aunty Bry and totally and utterly managed by
Taylor! Join the duo in this heart-warming tale of their magnificent journey together. Expect pop songs, silly
dances, lots of real-life video and tales of storming the Houses of Parliament, being played on Radio 1 and
getting their message right to the CBBC headquarters.
This is a show about family activism, children’s
rights and believing in your own power as an individual to change the world… even at nine years old!

“Catherine Bennett gets to be the pop star she was
built to be – the kind of pop star who pauses mid-gig to help a seven year old girl identify a mammoth’s
tooth”

“A pop powerhouse”
Time Out
“Magic, silliness and lip-syncing, as well as that
'you can change the world!' message”
