Comedian Kayleigh Jones to perform in Oxfordshire this summer
A musical comedian will speak about her nine-year mission to find her dad when she brings her newest show to Oxfordshire.
Kayleigh Jones will bring 'I Fed My Dad to a Pelican' to Goring Village Hall on July 9 at 7.30pm.
The show, which was nominated for Best Debut Show at Leicester Comedy Festival, tells the story of how on Christmas morning in 2010, Ms Jones discovered the man she thought was her dad, was in fact not.

Ms Jones said: "I have always enjoyed finding comedy in the darker life experiences.
"Laughing at trauma is my go-to coping mechanism, which is lucky, as I seem to be someone who attracts bizarre life events.
"Also, I did some research and, so far, it appears I am the only person in the world to have fed their dad to a pelican, so I'm making history here."
