Dirty Sexy Funny: Olivia Lee - In The PressIf you're looking for a TV guilty pleasure, you could dip into Dirty Sexy Funny, the best hidden-camera sketch show since Fonejacker. Olivia Lee is the star of the show, here morphing from a deaf Joan Rivers lookalike to busty vox pop interviewer with chameleon-like ease. Keith Watson, Metro, 5th April 2011 Olivia Lee: 'New series is like giving birth' Olivia Lee has described letting the second series of her show Dirty Sexy Funny loose on the public like giving birth. Comedy Central, 31st March 2011 Olivia Lee on being Dirty Sexy Funny Beautiful and funny - it's the curse which plagues comedian Olivia Lee, who's returning to Comedy Central with the second series of her semi-improvised sketch show, Dirty Sexy Funny. Written by Ben Falk. Aol Tv, 30th March 2011 Olivia Lee returns for a second series of her hidden camera show. With the sexy bit (and most of the funny) promised in the title presumably left on the cutting room floor, this one's got plenty of dirty jokes about sniffing knickers and genitalia-shaped food. Elsewhere, a narky guestlist-touting door-girl shows promise and Anthony Costa from revived boyband Blue chuckles his way through an interview but, as he was recently spotted weeing on a cashpoint, it's not saying much. Watch an exclusive clip from the new series Comedy Central's resident prankster Olivia Lee is back for a brand new series of Dirty Sexy Funny. Comedy Central, 18th March 2011 Call me unsisterly, but I can't help thinking that Olivia Lee's success as a wind-up merchant is more to do with her beguiling smile and short skirt than innate comic genius. Still, she duped gullible celebrities in C4's Balls of Steel and proves equally adept at flummoxing the British public in her first hidden-camera show. The results range from mildly amusing to excruciating, with her turn as an obsessibely clean flatmate by far the funniest. Claire Webb, The Radio Times, 8th March 2010 Comediennes are not the most conventionally alluring creatures on television - Dawn French, Victoria Wood and Jo Brand, to name a few, have often exploited their comfortable shape to hilarious ends. |
