Kate Everleigh (1864–8 February 1926) was a serio-comic actress and singer of the late Victorian era who was a music hall and burlesque performer as well as appearing in pantomime and musical theatre.
In America in 1877, with Lydia Thompson’s Company, she appeared in Reece and Farnie's burlesque Oxygen, or, Prince Fritz of Virgamen Reece's burlesque of Robinson Crusoe and a version of Bluebeard. Other appearances in the United States included a production of The Magic Slipper with the Colville Opera Company at the Bush Street Theatre in San Francisco in November 1879. A critic wrote of her performance, "Miss Kate Everleigh made a handsome Prince, and might perhaps have scored a success had she been compelled to act the part in pantomime". Everleigh also appeared in a burlesque with the Famous Colville Opera Burlesque Company at the California Theatre in San Francisco called Ill Treated Il Travotore, Or, The Mother, The Maiden, and The Musicianer (1880).
In London she appeared in the burlesque The Babes, or, Whines from the Wood (1884) and as Captain Delaunay in the original London cast of Erminie (1885). The magazine The Theatre in 1885 stated that she had also appeared in the shows Nemesis (1885); The Bride of Song (1864), a one-act operetta with music by Julius Benedict and words by Henry Brougham Farnie, and Family Ties. Everleigh acted in Eastward Ho! at the Opera Comique (1894). In 1889 she appeared at the Alexandra Theatre in a benefit night for Alfred Hemming. She played the lead role of Daisy in the musical comedy drama Kittens at the Theatre Royal, Brighton and also appeared in The Pet of Park Lane.

Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps is a British comedy television series sitcom that ran from 26 February 2001 to 24 May 2011 and starred Sheridan Smith, Will Mellor, Ralf Little, Natalie Casey, Kathryn Drysdale and Luke Gell. Created and written by Susan Nickson, it is set in the town of Runcorn in Cheshire, England, and originally revolves around the lives of five twenty-somethings. Little departed after the airing of the sixth series with Smith and Drysdale leaving following the airing of the eighth series. The ninth and final series had major changes with new main cast members and new writers.
The core cast have been augmented by various recurring characters throughout the series, including Beverly Callard, Lee Oakes, Hayley Bishop, Alison Mac, Thomas Nelstrop and Jonathon Dutton. The show was first broadcast in 2001 on BBC Two. The title was inspired by the 1980 hit single “Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please” by Splodgenessabounds. On 23 July 2011, it was confirmed that the series would not be returning due to BBC Three wanting to make room for new comedies and feeling that the series had come to a natural end following the departures of most of the main cast members.
Standing tall and calm
Peacefully awaiting
For the next to come
Holding heavy axe
Do your job and die
I’ll do mine and kill
Separate your head
It’s my only will
Meet the executioner
My mask is all you see
Before I take your life.
Your blood slowly drips.
I can taste your neck
Your pulse excites me
Victim by victim
