Kayleigh Jones: I Fed My Dad to a Pelican is a storytelling and musical comedy show performed at Blether during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Kayleigh Jones tells the ridiculously wild true story that her therapist asked her to stop telling. On Christmas morning in 2010, she unwrapped the ultimate surprise: her dad wasn't her dad and her real dad was probably someone else. This debut storytelling hour takes audiences on an offbeat quest to track down her real father, punctuated with hilarious songs. Running 60 minutes, suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A warm and wonderfully absurd true story told with songs — the kind of comedy show you end up pressing on friends. Kayleigh Jones turns a genuinely mad family revelation into a funny, musical, searching hour.
