The Kates are teaching Americans how to swear

In the early days of their careers, Kate McClennan and Kate McCartney never got booked for the same TV shows. At the time, women were few and far between in comedy sketches - and executives never imagined they’d need more than one woman. Let alone more than one Kate.

Once they finally met in person, the two became close friends and writing partners. They went on to create the Katering Show followed by Get Crackin’ on the ABC. And now? They’re back, with an Amazon Prime original television series which they self-describe as BroadChurch - but funny.

In this chat with Jamila Rizvi, the Kates explain how they convinced America that swearing is part of Australian culture.
