About this show
An hour of mostly stand-up aiming to explore what I do or don't have in common with the mighty Octopus. These may include: multitasking, sexually aggressive females, a vigilant mother, mating for life, the ability to squeeze through even the tiniest gaps, a brain of many parts, delicious (but chewy), ability to completely change appearance, squirting ink from a gland near the anus and popular with the Spanish. Probably. (Chortle.co.uk) (Entertainment-Focus.com). (TheWeeReview.com). 'Rubs off onto everybody around her' (FunnyWomen.com).
