“Gut-bustingly funny and the crowd roared their approval throughout ... trust me, it is yet another ingenious, adventurous conceit that has had a real comic intelligence applied to it. This is a really well thought out, clever, witty and downright brilliant show. Wonderful entertainment performed by an artist at the peak of her powers.” - The Mirror, UK
