SUMMARY:Katie Hopkins: Free Range
DESCRIPTION:Doors Open 18:30 \nShow Starts 19:30  \n  \nCome and join your family on the road for another cracking evening out with British funny woman\, Katie Hopkins. Whether you are 18 or 80\, on date night with your hubby\, a Single Pringle Mingle or a bus load of sturdy lesbians\, you belong. Never heard of her? Even better. \nAfter a fully SOLD OUT run in 2025\, KATIE IS BACK with an ALL NEW SHOW for 2026\, Katie will bring her unapologetic humour back to the stage for a night of laugh-out-loud stand-up comedy where you will remember how it feels to belong. \nKatie is giving herself ‘FREE RANGE’ on all the usual targets: useless politicians\, idiot celebrities and the morons in our midst. All your favourites from ‘Batsh*t Bonkers Britain’ will be in there: Lanyard Linda; Fat Brenda; and\, Ceramic Bob head Rachel Reeves – together with Katie’s new characters for 2026. \nKatie overshares her own humiliating failures for the biggest laughs; including her struggles with the thought police\, Anusol sponsorship and a drooping undercarriage. \n“I’m giving people free range to laugh with me and at me: No rules; no limits; no apologies. Have a night off from pretending to be proper\, and laugh till your face hurts”. \nQuotes: \n“We haven’t laughed that hard since the 70s” Adam\, Rugby \n“I brought my husband. He doesn’t know Katie. He is now her biggest fan\, best date night ever” Rachel\, Perth \n“I laughed till I cried. I cannot remember the last time I laughed like that” Carolyn\, Swansea \n“What a lovely audience\, all ages\, all sorts” Skegness Empire. Theatre
