— One4Review (5 out of 5 stars)
There are a few spots in this show where it's really not obvious where we're heading. But that's part of the fun.
— Stand-Up UK (4 out of 5 stars)
Olga has plenty of jokes about low rise jeans and teenage angst before she pirouettes (quite literally) into a joke about British government enquiries.
