“She has an obvious flair for comic timing... Nothing less than full mega-watt charisma” The Guardian

"An enjoyable fusion of silliness and intelligence - a comic who can get Nietzsche and cunnilingus into the same breath has to be applauded" Chortle

"Defiantly idiosyncratic and highly accessible" Evening Standard

"Her delivery is impeccable, and her deft anecdotal style belies the considerable craftsmanship in her storytelling. Sharp, unpredictable, and brutally funny, this is a show not to be missed." The Skinny
