Empathy Pains
Kiri's live special, recorded at Aberystwyth Comedy Festival in October 2021.
Here is the original description:
Previous shows have seen her tackle structural racism, sexism, child grooming, adoption and emotional abuse so what seemingly unfunny subject has she picked to turn into laughs this time? Chernobyl? The shrinking size of creme eggs? No, empathy. Which sounds fine actually but maybe not the way Kiri tackles it.
Kiri thinks that we live in a time where empathy is seen as a weakness like asthma or being first to pull away from a handshake (remember handshakes?). But why is that? Surely what we need in these divided times is more empathy? So Kiri is off on a search to find a group of people who she struggles to empathise with, what could this mean…..? Well, it means she’s spent the last year talking to non offending paedophilles on the internet. Yup, her search history is a disaster. So, come and see her make the impossible hilarious or possibly get arrested.
I've set the minimum at a £7 cos I think the show is worth at least that, although I got a full tracksuit from a chazza the other day for £4 and now I’m not so sure. If you can pay more that would be amazing because I can keep buying shiny things and at least 25% of everything I make from selling this show (that’s from sales, not profit ie after costs) goes to Pwrpas, an amazing charity. So why not pay £10 for it? Or £20 if you’re a mad millionaire/want to be my pay pig. If you pay over £15 and email me proof and your address I'll send out a wee note a badge from the show until I have none left! It feels weird even charging for it but for context I need to conservatively sell 3000 copies to break even - which won’t happen - but I couldn’t not try and get it out into the world after the last few years.
