CONTEMPORARY ventriloquist Kieran Powell is without doubt one of the country’s finest variety performers. With a modern, musical twist to his award-winning act, he has entertained thousands across the UK in the past few years.

He competed in this year’s Britain’s Got Talent, receiving four yes’s when he appeared in front of Simon Cowell and the other judges.

At an earlier show in Cirencester, he received a superb review: “Enjoying a fantastic mix of adult and child-friendly humour, and plenty of witty banter between Kieran and his furry sidekicks, although a little bit cheeky at times, the show never crosses the line. What an exceptionally talented young man. In an era of reality TV shows which continue to churn out a relentless stream of talentless ‘famous for being famous Z-list celebs’, it is refreshing to see an innovative young person who clearly loves his craft bucking the trend to show people what true talent really is.” (cirencesterpeople.co.uk) Kieran engages audiences with a combination of fast-paced comedy, creative interpretation of pop music, and a fearless attitude. Kieran Powell: Look Who's Talking, Sundial Theatre, Cirencester, Friday, February 21, at 7pm.
