The digital age has produced many stars, but few shine as brightly as GK Barry. The 26-year-old social media phenomenon, known for her reckless and 100% unfiltered approach, is bringing her unique brand of entertainment to Cardiff’s New Theatre on Sunday, September 7.
This appearance is part of a six-date UK tour supporting her new book, It’s Giving Life: A Guide To Surviving and Thriving, which hits shelves on September 3. Fans can expect a show that mirrors GK’s online persona – brutally honest, outrageously funny, and completely unfiltered.

As the show description puts it: “This is GK Barry at her finest. Live, unfiltered, and oversharing for the greater good of humanity. Come for the chaos. Stay for the laughs. Leave feeling better about your own life choices.”
A Star on the Rise
GK Barry, whose real name is Grace Eleanor Keeling, has seen her star rise meteorically.

With over six million followers across social media platforms and a chart-topping podcast, Saving Grace, GK has built a substantial fanbase. Her recent debut at Soccer Aid playing for England further demonstrates her growing influence in British popular culture.
From Digital to Stage
The transition from digital content creator to live performer isn’t always smooth, but GK Barry seems perfectly at home on stage. Her ability to connect with audiences through raw honesty and sharp wit translates beautifully to the live format.
Each show promises to be a unique experience, as GK shares stories that are too personal for social media but perfect for a live audience. The Cardiff show is particularly anticipated, as it’s one of the final stops on her current tour.
