Kiri Pritchard-McLean: Tough Crowd

In this inspiring special, multi award-winning comedian Kiri Pritchard-McLean shares how a chance radio advert changed her life and led to her becoming a foster carer.

Have you ever considered becoming a foster carer?

Multi award-winning comedian Kiri Pritchard-McLean hadn’t - until a chance radio advert changed everything.

In this heartfelt and inspiring half-hour special, recorded in front of a live audience, Kiri shares the unexpected and deeply personal journey that led her to become a Local Authority foster carer on the Welsh island of Ynys Môn. With her signature wit and warmth, Kiri lifts the lid on the system and offers a moving, candid, and funny account of what it truly means to open your home - and your heart - to a child in need.

First broadcast during Foster Care Fortnight in the UK, this programme shines a timely spotlight on the extraordinary power of ordinary people to make a difference.
