4pm-5.30pm -Katie Rose and Dickie Richards
Katie-Rose Canadian comedian Katie-Rose Petley is coming to Dover Fringe with her filthy, fearless dive into being raised in the church, progressive parenting, and sex pre-9/11. It’s unhinged. It’s hilarious. It’s Dirty Bitch. Katie-Rose Petley is a Canadian stand-up comedian known for her fresh, filthy, and unfiltered storytelling. With material that’s dark, shameless, and disturbingly relatable, she’s been described as “delightfully vulgar.” Whether she’s unpacking religion, motherhood, or the ups and downs of dog ownership, Katie-Rose delivers big laughs with bold honesty and zero apologies. After appearances at Faversham Fringe and Brighton Fringe last, she’s stopping in Dover on her way back to Brighton. Don’t miss it! Dickie Richards Crazy , Daft, Silly and Stupid comedy like you’ve never seen! Dickie’s riotous show packs a catchy song, a bunch of rapid-fire one-liners, absurd tales of ageing, sex, pubes, body positivity and sounds from far across the cosmos! There’s nothing serious here!! Features a RED-HOT finale and PYROTECHNICS! The acts will also have a tip hat for any kind donations |
16:00 - 18:00 | Free admission |
