Eagle-eyed Shed-heads might recognise Katie Pritchard as one of our annually returning northern comedians, and this year we managed to sway her to return.

If you were there for her side-splitting interview with Rosie Jones back at in 2022, you’ll most definitely understand why we’ve invited her back to host again.

Self-identifying as a carnage-wielding human disco ball, Katie is bringing her award-winning collection of handmade costumes, pumping ‘choons and musical comedy chaos back to the Big Top for high-octane blasts of hilarity throughout the festival.
