The Hot Wing King is a 2020 American comedy-drama play by writer Katori Hall. The play follows Cordell, his boyfriend, and their friends in Memphis, Tennessee preparing their culinary entry for the annual 'Hot Wang Festival'. 

According to the National Theatre, Kadiff is Cordell in this hot new comedy told with the love language of food; about family, Black Masculinity, sexuality and the journey to finding home. 

It comes after Aisling revealed last month that she is pregnant with her first child.

The comedian shared the news in a hilarious post after debuting her bump at the Big Slick '24 event.

Showing off her tummy, Aisling shared funny videos and snaps of a cartoon face painted onto her bare tummy after performing a back-up dance with comic Seth Herzog.

In the caption of her post, Aisling also shared that she was expecting her baby with her boyfriend, producer Jack Freeman.

She wrote: 'Dignity Intact. Got pregnant so I could try & put something beside Paul Rudd's face to make him look older.' 

'Thanks to the @bigslickkc , Paul, @sethherzog super boy @travisKelce & mostly our angel @sherylcrow for helping me show off my bump in the most dignified & classy way possible.'

'Sheryl said myself & Seth could be her very professional back up dancers with our ridiculous idea, how on brand!She really does just wanna have some fun, yawl.'

'And thanks to @jackoby.freeman & @elsie for doing full bump glam & to one of them in particular for getting me pregaroo in the first place.'

'Just to note if you use sharpie pen on your skin, it will be there for about two days. Just if you are weighing up what a commitment to a joke is worth. Gentle dermatitis is the answer.'

Aisling's post showed a slew of snaps of the moment she unveiled her bump while dancing on-stage at the charity event. 

The star previously dated actor Michael Sheen in 2018 for less than a year, before his ex Sarah Silverman confirmed their romance was over.

The following year she then sparked dating rumours with Spiderman star Andrew Garfield, after they were pictured together during a night out at the theatre.
