Fern Brady has announced a brand new touring show, I Gave You Milk To Drink, for 2024. Tickets for the show are on sale now. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a full list of her UK tour dates. 

According to a press release, the show will ask, ‘What happens when you get everything you want and it’s not enough? What if you want to run a small goat farm in rural Greece instead?’ 

We awarded Brady the number two position in our Hot 100 for 2023, in part because of her exceptional memoir Strong Female Character. We wrote, ‘The book, which charts Brady’s life growing up in Bathgate and Edinburgh while living with undiagnosed autism, is filled with nuggets of information on how she negotiates a world shaped for allistic behavioural traits. Dismiss it as ‘another comedy memoir’ at your peril: creating rich insight into smalltown Scottish living, Catholicism, feminism, and the clear class divide which still festers in universities, it’s a sharply written piece of work which pulls readers through incredible trauma with a morbid sense of humour and genuine laugh-out-loud moments. Perhaps more importantly, it’s smashed open the conversation about autism in the popular consciousness.’ Read the full feature here.
