Known for her multi-dimensional comedy that blends satire, social commentary, and personal anecdotes, Kiri is set to deliver an unforgettable evening that Dundalk audiences won't want to miss.

Kiri Pritchard-McLean has had an incredibly eventful few years, balancing her thriving career with some unexpected personal developments. Many fans know her as the co-creator and co-host of the wildly popular podcast "All Killa No Filla," where she and fellow comedian Rachel Fairburn dive into the lives of serial killers with a uniquely comedic twist. The podcast has garnered a huge international following thanks to its clever mix of true crime and humor. But that’s just one facet of Kiri’s varied career.

In addition to her podcast success, Kiri is also a regular on BBC Radio Wales and has hosted popular TV shows like Live at the Apollo. She’s a familiar face on British comedy panel shows like Have I Got News for You, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, QI, and Frankie Boyle's New World Order. With this impressive lineup of achievements, Kiri has proven herself to be one of the most dynamic and versatile voices in British comedy today.

What you may not know about Kiri is that she’s also become a foster parent. This major life change, while deeply meaningful, had been something she wasn’t able to discuss openly—until now. Kiri often jokes that she’s like the Bruce Wayne of comedy—hiding her comedic persona from the kids in her care, even using a different name. But this year, something shifted, and she’s ready to talk about her experiences with foster care on stage for the first time. Her new show will lift the curtain on her experiences, offering hilarious insights into the world of social workers, first aid training, and the awkward moments that arise when people search for you on YouTube—especially if they’re vicars! As Kiri brings these stories to life on stage, audiences in Dundalk will get an exclusive peek into this rarely discussed side of her life.

Comedy lovers can expect more than just laughs at Kiri’s upcoming Dundalk show. The material delves deep into the realities of foster care, mixing her sharp humor with poignant reflections on social responsibility, parenting, and navigating the challenges of a system she describes with both candor and compassion. Her distinctive style—balancing irreverent jokes with meaningful commentary—promises a well-rounded show that will leave you thinking long after the final punchline lands. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to her work, this is a show that should be at the top of your calendar this November.
