A combination of endearing awkwardness, risqué humour, and physical gags in a show about motherhood

Intelligent and hugely varied hour of excellent stand-up, delivered at a screwball pace

Likeable Welsh comic works best when embracing her weirder side

Hard-hitting stand-up points to the UK's dangerous class divide

Fluent and funny comic reflects on recent life events through a rom-com lens

Refreshingly unselfconscious comedy about the perils of midlife

Same man, same show, leaves hardcore fans bitterly betrayed by its popularity

Silly, sensational and cleverly organised hour of farce and laughter

Exuberant and uncompromising burlesque clowning with a curiously sweet core
