About this show
Ele McKenzie's back (at her parents' house), baby! Sexually constipated. Literally constipated. Addicted to Rennies. Life has truly never been better! No, really!! In her highly anticipated debut hour, the Pleasance Comedy Reserve alum is going to tell you all about it – maybe a little too much? 'No one else is doing this flavour of haunted / gross / hysterical modernism' (Chortle.co.uk). 'I haven't seen... such fearless monstrosity since Julia Davis' (Guardian). As seen in Funboys and Everyone Else Burns. Royal Television Society Breakthrough Award winner.

“What a magical evening,” intones the deadpan comedian, “utterly remarkable. I’m so excited to be here.” Bringing It All Back Home is a reference to the Bob Dylan album of the same name and refers to the fact that at…
— On the Mic (3 out of 5 stars)
3.5 Stars McKenzie is new to me. But having a poster that parodies a Bob Dylan album cover is a great way to grab my attention. Her delivery can be a bit disconcerting, but that's all part of the act.
