Kayleigh Jones: I Fed My Dad to a Pelican

Gilded Balloon presents…

SATURDAY 13TH JUNE, 17:00
After a successful Edinburgh Fringe debut, Kayleigh returns to the Gilded Balloon with her ridiculously true-story comedy show. Hailed as ‘more than your average comedy show,’ Kayleigh tells the unforgettable tale of how, on Christmas morning 2010, she unwrapped the ultimate surprise: her dad wasn’t her dad, and her real dad was… probably someone else.

Winner - Spirit of the Fringe Award
Best Newcomer - ISH Edinburgh Comedy Award (Nominee)
Best Debut - Leicester Comedy Festival (Nominee)

Kayleigh’s comedy hour takes you on her offbeat quest to track down her real father. And the pelican part? You’ll have to see for yourself.

★★★★½ 'For anyone with a dysfunctional family story, musical comedy fans, and frankly, anyone with a heart and a mind. This true story, delivered by a talented storyteller, is one you won’t want to miss' (The Reviews Hub)

'A tantalising musical comedian' (The Skinny)
