Are
you ready to escape the madness here in Britain?

Then
why not come join Katie Hopkins for her BRAND NEW tour for 2025 Batsh*t
Bonkers Britain 
and remember what it’s like to have a proper belly
laugh. 

Katie’s
daily ‘Batsh*t Bonkers’ briefing is now the most trusted source of news for
those wanting a speedy update on what's actually going on, with a side order of
snark and laughter.

Whether
it’s poking fun at sickly sweet celebrities, sticking two fingers up at
hypocrites in charge, or tearing herself a new one, Katie is unapologetically
bold. This is a laugh out loud escape for all the adults in your family.

“Having
spent time in the media, I know how these idiots operate and I am calling them
out on their nonsense”.

Katie
adds “People are told to believe stuff that they can see with their own eyes is
simply not true. That is the definition of madness. I’d love to take credit for
Batsh*t Bonkers but honestly, most days, it writes itself”.

What
the public say about Katie's shows: 

“I
haven’t laughed like that in years” Sue, Glasgow

“I
don’t find women funny. But this bird is bloody hysterical” Simon, Leeds.

“Next
time I am wearing my TENA LADY’s” Pam, Swindon. 

“It’s
so refreshing to hear someone who doesn’t care about pleasing others. She
shoots from the hip” Claire, Newcastle

“Katie
is my daily dose of sanity” Michael, London

“Katie
is a national treasure. Protect her at all costs” Colin, Stafford

The
Batsh*t Bonkers Britain UK Tour runs from May through July 2025. With more
dates and venues than ever before, there’s a place for everyone. No matter what
your views or beliefs, your age or your background we can all agree we need to
laugh together and feel better. And that’s what Katie Hopkins promises to
deliver.

Katie
says: “For almost 20 years in the public eye I have stayed true to my beliefs.
I am beyond thrilled to have a platform on which to shine a light about the
things that matter to regular people in the UK. I have no paymaster and no one
to please. I’m here telling it like it is because I really want people to know
they are not alone. Being a part of this tour is not about me; it's about
knowing you belong. And together we will laugh hard at the insanity that
surrounds us”.

Kieshia gained her experiences working with the likes of Maxi Priest and the Four Tops as well as performing at large corporate events with some impressive venues to welcome her. Whitney has been the soundtrack to Kieshia’s life and so it seemed only natural to pay homage to her idol.
