One minute Tiffany Stevenson is talking about Shakespeare the next she’s concerned with men’s balls. In her words, she can “switch from high brow to low brow like a motherf***er”! Stevenson is an intelligent comic with the balshyness of a Southern working class girl.
Class is a main theme of the show and Stevenson battles to prove that she is truly working class despite her predilection for posh coffee and iPad games for her cat. The juxtaposition of the use of intellectual language and immature cursing serves for one excellent hour of comedy.
Highlights of the show include her brilliant observations on the ‘yummy mummies’ of North London and youth culture. Tiff’s impression of 2012 teenage girl is ‘totes amazeballs’ and provides lots of ‘LOLs”.
‘Uncomfortably Numb’ is a great celebration of women’s comedy. Yes, Stevenson explores typically female themes such as weight issues, wrinkles and aging, but she will not alienate male audience members.
Rest assured, all sexes will leave the venue with their laughter lines well and truly creased.
What Tiff talks about: racism, class, kindles and dermatologists.
