Kiri Pritchard-McLean

Peacock

  • United Kingdom

Star of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Have I Got News for You and QI Kiri Pritchard-McLean has had a busy few years. As well as hosting Live at the Apollo, fronting the Radio 4 panel show Best Medicine and starting a comedy school, she’s become a foster parent. 

Didn’t know that about her? Well, until now she hasn’t been able to talk about it on stage. She hasn’t even told the kids in her care that she’s a comedian. Oh, and she uses a different name – she’s the Bruce Wayne of comedy but without the mansions. 

However, this year something changed and after a couple of the eggiest gigs of her career in boardrooms to social workers, a show about becoming a foster carer has been signed off! So, come and join 'Louise' as she lifts the lid on social workers, first aid training and what not to do when a vicar searches for you on YouTube. 

Join the co-creator and co-host of cult hit podcast 'All Killa No Filla' for a joyous and uplifting show from a comedian known for making “powerhouse stand-up from the thorniest of subjects” (The Guardian, UK ).   

'Expect sequins, social commentary and massive laughs from the renaissance woman of UK comedy.' Rolling Stone 

 

Strictly for audiences 15+

Language – strong coarse language
