Venue: 
Exeter Corn Exchange, Market Street, Exeter, EX1 1BW.

'The Kardashians Made Me Do It' is a searing and urgent exploration of life, love and Jihadi brides.

The show tells of the confusion it caused, as she looks into the nature of offence, the dangers of politically correct liberalism versus the sinister and terrifying intrusion of ISIS into the lives of young British Asian women.
