Get ready for an evening of laughter and heartfelt moments as the brilliant Welsh comedian Kiri Pritchard-McLean brings her latest show, 'Peacock,' to Sheffield City Hall on 23 October 2024. Known for her appearances on popular shows like '8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown,' 'Have I Got News For You,' and 'QI,' Kiri has crafted a show that blends her sharp wit with deeply personal stories, making it a must-see event.

In his recent review, Tom Inniss from Voice Magazine describes 'Peacock' as Kiri's most personal and important show to date. Although the title might suggest otherwise, the show is less about the flamboyant bird and more about Kiri's journey towards becoming a foster parent, a path inspired during the lockdown. As Inniss highlights, the show delves into thought-provoking questions like the suitability of a comedian as a foster parent and the impact of parenting on one's perspective, all delivered with Kiri's signature sardonic humour.

Inniss notes the emotional depth of the show, which almost brought him to tears, underscoring the blend of comedy and serious social commentary. Kiri addresses the pressing issue of the UK's foster care system, which currently has over 100,000 children in need of safe and loving homes. The show ends with a powerful plea for people to consider fostering, making it not just a comedy act, but also a public service message wrapped in humour.
