Simply 11 times Kathy Burke made our day so much better on Twitter

Poke Staff. Updated March 31st, 2023

The fabulous Kathy Burke has been going viral this week, for her tributes to Paul O’Grady and her no-nonsense response to deputy prime minister Dominic Raab when he got basically everything about the Lily Savage creator wrong (including his name).

People have also been sharing Burke and her take on ‘going woke’ after Amanda Holden said O’Grady wasn’t woke.

And it got us thinking about the 11 times Burke – actress, comedian, writer, producer, director, documentary maker – made our day so much better.

1. When she said this about going ‘woke’

2. When she called Dominic Raab this after he got Paul O’Grady’s name wrong (and much else besides)

3. When she said this about anti-vaxxers

4. When she responded like this to the then culture secretary Nadine Dorries’ online safety rap
