Kayleigh's debut hour is the intricate true story of how she found out her real dad is not the man named on her birth certificate. The story follows her offbeat nine-year journey that led to her finding her real dad and then feeding him to a pelican shortly after.

This joke packed storytelling hour is punctuated with hilarious songs that have quickly become the highlight of this show.

'I Fed My Dad to a Pelican' has received a nomination for Best Debut Show at Leicester Comedy Festival, won the award for Best Show in the Late Stage Comedy Promoter Awards, and received a review from News.com.au that said 'This is the best comedy show I have ever seen'.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
