After a successful Edinburgh Fringe debut, Kayleigh Jones is bringing her ridiculously true-story comedy show to her hometown of Warwick, for one night only. Profits from this show will be donated to local charity The Myton Hospices. This incredible organisation provides various services for those living with a terminal illness and their families, focusing on dignity and compassion for each individual.
Kayleigh Jones: I Fed My Dad to a Pelican.
Friday 8th May 7.30pm (bar from 6.30pm)
Tickets here
Kayleigh’s award-winning debut hour has been hailed as ‘more than your average comedy show,’ and 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.
Kayleigh performed a knockout set as part of Bridge House Theatre’s inaugural Warwick Comedy Club in February 2025, where she (and her ukulele) shared the bill with Paul Sinha, Andy Robinson, Steve N Allen and Ryan Mold. Having broken into stand-up comedy in 2022, bolstered by an acting and musical theatre background, Kayleigh has quickly gained industry traction and a surge of rave reviews, dubbing her “an exciting new voice in British comedy”.
