Top line up for Laughing Cows

In Manchester this month  Laughing Cows comedy presents 'Kerry Leigh Wants To Marry Her Brother.'

Our regular monthly show at The Frog and Bucket in Manchester's Northern Quarter this month will see our resident MC performing her solo show. Leigh performed the show during the Women in Comedy Festival in 2014, selling out the venue and receiving a standing ovation.

As a little girl Kerry would tell people she wanted to marry her brother - not in a Jeremy Kyle way, just simply because she adored him. He made her laugh, he was always bringing home great music, and he loved her. What more could a girl ask for?

With her usual mixture of warmth and hilarity Kerry shares a love story with a difference.

Kerry has been making people laugh for over ten years, working with Laughing Cows Comedy since 2004, hosting their successful Manchester shows where she befriends the audiences each month.

“Kerry Leigh is a wonderful host and comic, sharp and very watchable” Janey Godley

Now in their 17th year Laughing Cows have opened clubs across the nation and expanded onto the continent playing host to a number of big name female comedy acts whilst also nurturing new talent.

The club began life in London in 1998 when founder Hazel O'Keefe took up the gauntlet thrown down by a well-established club promoter when he confessed that the reason he wouldn't book two female acts to play the same bill was that, 'I wouldn't take that risk'.

Operating an inclusive policy, Laughing Cows also invites transgender and gender queer comedians who identify as female to perform and men are more than welcome in the audiences.

Manchester: Sunday 26 Apr. 'Kerry Leigh Wants to Marry Her Brother' with support from Sophie Willan. The Frog and Bucket, 102 Oldham Street, M4 1LJ. Doors 7pm, Show 8pm. £7 advance and £10 on the door.

Contact: 07958 642090.
