REVIEW: HAJAR, LIKE BADGER, HAJAR J WOODLAND
“She’s a born entertainer, whether singing about the 90s or dissecting her own name, bursting with musicality and enthusiasm.” – Polly Allen
REVIEW: EASILY DISTRA…, HARRIET DYER
It’s no surprise to us at Funny Women that Harriet’s show is selling out this Fringe but if you are fortunate/well organised enough to grab a ticket for Easily Distra… you are in for such a treat!
REVIEW: MORAL SUPPORT, AMELIA HAMILTON
“…if tricky second hours are the norm, Hamilton is most definitely the exception to the rule.” – Katerina Partolina Schwartz
REVIEW: DECISIONS DECISIONS WIP, NERINE SKINNER
“Nerine Skinner is a brilliant performer who is all too often self-deprecating. She should be very proud of the unique, creative and highly entertaining journey she took us on. Top pick, highly recommended.” – Sofia Hart
