Katie Mulgrew on how she used to heckle Ken Dodd!
Katie Mulgrew, stand-up comedian and Jimmy Cricket’s daughter, has been chatting about what it was like growing up with a famous father.
Also a playwright and actor, Katie was talking to podcast presenter Richard Herring at the Lowry Theatre.
The last time Richard was at the Salford venue, several years ago, he interviewed Jimmy, along with another comedian, Sarah Millican.
In her conversation earlier this week, Katie talked – among many things – about the horrors of birth, and partying with comedy double act Little and Large and the dance troup Roly Polys.
She also recalls how she used to heckle famous funnyman Ken Dodd, a good friend of her dad’s!
RHLSTP is an award-winning series in which Richard talks to some of the biggest names in comedy and entertainment.
They have included Stephen Fry, Eddie Izzard, Dawn French, David Mitchell, Katherine Ryan and Brian Blessed.
After Wednesday’s show, Richard posted on social media: “RHLSTP with the fabulous Katie Mulgrew…
” …with some amazing stories including this one about growing up with a famous comedian dad!
