What the reviewers said
We have captured 2 published reviews and 2 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
4.5 Stars Kate Smurthwaite is a brilliantly funny, clever, and original comedian who pushes her own boundaries and also makes you think.
One of the most impressive things (and there are so many) is the fact that when Kate explains she is doing a new show every day and that this one was written overnight, the sound of minds being boggled fills the room.
