KATIE MULGREW - DROP. THE. MIC.<br />

At the time of writing this, comedian Katie Mulgrew just had a baby and has absolutely no idea what this show will be about. All she knows<br />

is that it will be a free stand up show from a sleep deprived shell of a woman. She’ll just be happy for an audience who don’t throw up on her<br />

or expect to be breastfed. **** The Skinny **** Gigglebeats **** Ed Fest Mag<br />
