Christmas morning 2010, Kayleigh found out that her dad isn't her dad and that her real dad is probably someone else. Join Musical Comedy Award Finalist Kayleigh Jones on her offbeat nine-year journey that led to her finding her real dad and then feeding him to a Pelican shortly after. Combining stand-up, comedy songs, and storytelling to weave through this tale of identity, unconventional mothers, and how being pedantic would make the world a better place. *Camden Fringe sell-out show 2023*FUNNY WOMEN AWARD 2023 NOMINEEMUSICAL COMEDY AWARD 2022 FINALIST BBC NEW COMEDY AWARD 2022 NOMINEEAs seen on NEXTUP COMEDYNominated for Best Debut Show at this year's Leicester Comedy Festival.

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.
