Kiri Pritchard-McLean – Peacock

Part of Harrogate Comedy Festival 2024

Little Wander in association with PBJ Management presents Kiri Pritchard-McLean: Peacock

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).

As part of Kiri’s tour she is supporting Pens For Kids.

Pens for Kids is trying to help kids around the world, by removing one of the hurdles on their way to an education – the cost of a pen!

Kiri is asking audience members to bring along donations in the form of:

•             Handwriting pens (biros etc)

•             HB pencils

•             Colouring pencils

If you are able to donate, there will be a table in the foyer at Harrogate Theatre for you to deliver your pens and pencils. To find out more about Pens for Kids please visit their website here.
