This event will take place at EartH Theatre.

Star of 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, 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 the Radio 4 panel show Best Medicine and starting a comedy school, she’s become a foster parent.

Didn’t know that about her? Well, until now she hasn’t been able to talk about it on stage, she hasn’t even told the kids in her care that she’s a comedian. Oh, and she uses a different name - she’s the Bruce Wayne of comedy but without the mansions.

However, this year something changed and after a couple of the eggiest gigs of her career in boardrooms to social workers a show about becoming a foster carer has been signed off! So, come and join “Louise” as she lifts the lid on social workers, first aid training and what not to do when a vicar searches for you on YouTube.

Join the co-creator and co-host of cult hit podcast All Killa No Filla for a joyous and uplifting show from a comedian known for making "powerhouse stand-up from the thorniest of subjects" (The Guardian).

Micky Overman: Hold On

Micky Overman

This event will take place in EartH Theatre.

If life is a journey, Zoe’s has had more than its share of potholes and diversions: from diving with sharks, to sitting in a shed in Vietnam with a former health secretary (and discovering that MPs aren’t the only parasites she has to worry about). Navigating the road to happiness can be exhausting and baffling; Zoe’s begun to think that even Wim Hof would prefer to be tucked up with a nice hot water bottle every now and then.

But Zoe’s been on that road long enough now that she’s felt a change – not as in the menopause. A real change. If happiness is ending up the best version of yourself, Zoe is finally getting there. She is where she needs to be. She is… werewolf.

The host of BBC’s ‘Lightning’, a regular on ‘Have I Got News For You’, ‘QI’, and ‘Mock The Week’ – and a survivor of ‘Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins’ and ‘World’s Most Dangerous Roads’ on Dave – Zoe is one of the country’s best-loved comedians.

★★★★★ Funny Women “A masterclass of how to write, construct, and perform an Edinburgh show, or any show in fact.”

★★★★ Chortle "Lyons is on top of her game, in command of her material, her audience and her stage"

★★★★ Three Weeks "An hour of intelligent observations and hilarious character comedy"

★★★★ The Wee Review "A tremendously good comic operating at a vertiginous level."

★★★★ One4Review "A huge talent"

★★★★ Guardian

“A hugely enjoyable mix of brutal put downs and richly funny stories, Lyons has what it takes to delight any crowd” Guardian

"She is very sharp...an excellent hour, well spent" Times

“Zoe Lyons really cuts the mustard” Scotsman

In Lou’s words…

A show about being human - can you relate???

Just like Tom Cruise does all his own stunts, I'm going to do all my own jokes!

A deep, dumb show for the masses.
