IRISH stand-up comedian, comedy writer and actor Grainne Maguire likes to shock people, and she's on her way to Bromsgrove.

Her recent tweet about her menstrual cycle to the Irish Taoiseach went viral and she’s never been known to hold back in her stand-up performances either.

Nominated for Best Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival, she’s performed at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Bulmers Galway Comedy Festival and The Cats Laugh Festival in Kilkenny.

When she’s not doing stand-up, she can often be heard on BBC Radio 4’s Now Show and regularly writes for Dead Ringers and the News Quiz.

And Grainne Maguire will presents her show, Great People Making Great Choices, at the Artrix on Saturday February 11 at 8pm. Tickets are available from Artrix on www.artrix.co.uk or on 01527 577330
