PRESS & REVIEWS
The Skinny
'Voice of a new generation'
Chortle
'Wears her heart on her sleeve as she discusses her mental health issues with a disarming honesty and a mordant wit. Distinctive, and she feels like a voice with something to say'
Beyond the Joke
'It's not easy to talk about mental health in a full set, so to touch on subjects such as self-harm in a brief competition set was pretty impressive.'
