NIGHT L I F E
THE NIGHTLIFE EVENTS NOT TO MISS THIS MONTH
KIRI PRITCHARD- MCLEAN
As star of All Killa No Filla podcast, Kiri Pritchard-McLean puts serial killers under the spotlight with her co-host Rachel Fairburn, while her solo stand-up shows have seen her tackle topics including emotional abuse, structural racism and sexism. She’s got a serious knack for managing to find comedy in the bleakest of situations, which explains her latest endeavour, which sees her seeking out members of society that are universally reviled to test the limits of her empathy. The Independent gave it five stars and The Guardian describes her as “an impressive comic, making powerhouse stand- up from the thorniest of subjects”. You can catch it at Cambridge Junction on 13 March, tickets £15. junction.co.uk
Also at Cambridge Junction this month are American band Hayseed Dixie, who are offering up a taste of their 15th studio album. Formed in 2000 in Nashville, Tennessee, their first album was entitled A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC , with their name being a linguistic play on the band. Along with reinterpretations of R&B and soul classics, the show promises original songs that challenge the status quo and perpetuates the band’s preference for their self-created genre ‘rockgrass’. Dance with them as they ask questions like: “Why does every song always sound better with a banjo in the mix?” Whether you love them, hate them, or have never heard of them (there isn’t really a middle ground), Hayseed Dixie continue to deliver music with a satirical, absurdist nature that’s bound to capture your attention. Catch them at 7pm on 28 March at Cambridge Junction. Tickets are £21. junction.co.uk HAYSEED DIXIE
