“Kit Green is a presence at once charismatic, commanding and thoroughly comedic.” — New York Times
Kit Green is an artist working across theatre, music, academia, cabaret, comedy and broadcast. She is an Olivier Award winner and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the National Film Awards for her role as Tinkerbell in Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
She is widely known for her comedy creations, including Nashville legend Tina C and artificial hip hop star Ida Barr, as well as her extensive work on BBC Radio 4. She is also a founding member of the Duckie Collective.
Kit creates influential “experiential entertainments”, including Prurience, Office Party, VIP, Music Hall Monster, and The Home, exploring residential care for the elderly — from which she developed The Digital Home.
During her Fellowship, Kit explores two distinct areas of AI through contrasting artistic forms.
Help Yourself investigates AI therapy tools, developing an app that enables users to create a digital version of themselves at their best — offering support in moments of depression. Combining voice synthesis, bespoke chatbot design and therapeutic techniques, the project also interrogates the ethics of such technologies.
A/Ida sees Kit’s long-standing character Ida Barr explore the role of AI in elder care. Developed with elders and AI experts, the project culminates in a live comedy performance that blends humour, GenAI, and urgent questions about the future and ethics of care.

- Prurience — first-ever theatrical commission by the Guggenheim, New York, leading to an ongoing collaboration
- Legacy 6 (2024) — a digital memorialisation platform
