REVIEW: PEOPLE PLEASER, JADE GEBBIE
“Well observed with a huge heart and, not to mention, very funny! Jade warmly welcomed us into the space and made us feel instantly at ease.” – Kelly Griffiths
IN AND OUT AT THIS YEAR’S FRINGE
Edinburgh Fringe is now an ‘in and out’ affair for me and I really enjoyed my fast and furious few days last week at the festival.
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: SLAY, LOIS-AMBER TOOLE
Lois-Amber Toole (writer and performer of SLAY) is a force on stage and instantly hooked us into Kit’s world of complex PTSD and let us in to the lens of London through the eyes of a young Geordie with gallows humour at its finest.
REVIEW: CARTWHEEL, AMANDA KNOX
Amanda Knox is nearly 40, a mother, and finally allowing herself to be “bloody furious.” In her new show, Cartwheel, Knox navigates the impossible friction of being wrongly imprisoned for a murder she did not commit.
REVIEW: DIVERSITY SHREDDER, CHARLENE KAYE
In Diversity Shredder, Charlene Kaye’s energy is palpable and unrelenting. She really does pack every minute of the show with material, with applaudable showmanship. The show follows Kaye on a journey of discovery to find her own musical identity, starting with a history of Asian American music – including the problematic depictions of asians in The Vapors’ music – to K-pop hitting the mainstream and accomplishing world domination.
