Tamsyn Kelly

LONDON, 23RD MAY 2023 – BBC New Comedian of the Year 2021 Finalist Tamsyn Kelly brings her new stand-up hour ‘Crying in TK Maxx’ to the Fringe, performing at Pleasance Courtyard at 8.40pm throughout the festival. 

When working class Cornish comedian Tamsyn Kelly discovers footage of her estranged father in a Channel 4 documentary, she's forced to stop and reassess her life. How have men shaped who she is? Will the chicken-shop guy ever give her the time of day? Why was Mr Blobby her first crush? A brutally honest, but fair appraisal of the men in her life, from a woman who has cried in most high-street shops. Directed by double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Amy Gledhill. 

Tamsyn Kelly is a working class comedian, actor and writer from Penzance, Cornwall. On TV, she has recently appeared in the Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV2) alongside Seann Walsh, and was a regional finalist in the BBC New Comedian of the Year Award 2021 (BBC One).  She is also set to star in Comedy Central Live (Comedy Central). As a comedian Tamsyn is a regular on the UK circuit performing at top comedy venues across the country, and supported Kiri Pritchard-McLean on her tour Home Truths.

She’s also a writer and performer on a new Cornish based BBC Radio 4 series Wosson Cornwall starring Dawn French, which was critics’ choice in both The Guardian and The Times. Tamsyn currently has various other scripted projects in development.
