I Fed My Dad to a Pelican
"More than your average comedy show"

​​
Kayleigh tells the intricately bizarre true story of discovering on Christmas morning 2010, that her dad isn’t her dad, and her real dad is… probably someone else.
This debut takes you on an offbeat 9-year quest to track down her biological father — and the pelican part? You’ll have to see for yourself.
This joke-packed storytelling hour, full of heart, is punctuated with hilarious original songs that have quickly become the highlight of this show.
Winner of the Spirit of the Fringe Award 2025, nominated for Best Newcomer at the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2025, and shortlisted for Best Debut Show at Leicester Comedy Festival.
A darkly funny tale of identity, class, and discovering your parent as an adult, delivered with warmth by a talented storyteller.
