Kiri Pritchard-McLean's new touring show Peacock is a masterclass of virtue signalling without skipping over the big around the room laughs. The final 10 minutes might just be the most gripping storytelling cliffhanger ever committed on stage at the Fringe.
Star of 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 Radio 4's Best Medicine and starting a comedy school, she's become a foster parent. She hasn't been able to talk about it - until now. Come and join her for three nights only as she lifts the lid on social workers, first-aid training and what not to do when a vicar searches for you on YouTube. 'An increasingly impressive comic, making powerhouse stand-up from the thorniest of subjects' **** (Guardian).

Politics! Racism! Redemption! Words have power and words are a stand-ups greatest tool. Bobby experiences shows where every single syllable has been considered and others that sprawl with a devil may care attitude. Ultimately what action happens off stage speaks volume over throwaway gags.
