All Killa No Filla Tickets

All Killa No Filla on Tour

Kiri Pritchard-McLean has a thing about serial killers. In fact, the comedian and performer claims the subject is "the only thing I know enough to talk at length about." That's why she was pleased to find in Rachel Fairburn a comedy partner who shares her macabre interest, as well as hilariously twisted brand of humour. The result is All Killa No Filla, an essential podcast for listeners who like a little murder in their day and – thanks to the show's popular stage incarnation – in their evening entertainment, too.

Launched in 2014 with a look at Jack the Ripper, the duo's program became a breakout hit with listeners who very much like to have some laughs along with their lurid true-crime tales. John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez and Aileen Wuornos are just a few of the other infamous murderers who've received the same treatment, all to the ghoulish delight of the fans who have made the show a Top 5 hit on the iTunes podcast charts in the U.K. and Australia.

The show's success has been a surprise and a delight for two very busy performers who initially regarded All Killa No Filla as a side project. As Fairburn says, "It's amazing to think something we record once a month in our spare room has resonated with so many people." It's also an experience that the two veteran performers – whose many other endeavours include Pritchard-McLean's shows as a solo stand-up, her sketch group Gein's Family Giftshop, and Fairburn's The Wolf at the Door, a show she debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2018 – have eagerly shared with live audiences, too.

After launching the stage version of All Killa No Filla at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2015, Pritchard-McLean and Fairburn have recorded episodes at venues throughout the U.K. In 2018, the All Killa No Filla team crossed the Atlantic for their first U.S. tour, which included shows in such venues as New York's Gramercy Theatre and the House of Blues in Chicago. Upcoming dates provide the duo with many more opportunities to take the stage to – as Fairburn jokes – "chat murder and wear ridiculous outfits."
