'Most original act I've seen for years' (Harry Hill). Star of BBC Radio 4's Bridget Christie Minds the Gap, BBC2's It's Kevin, and Comedy Central's Alternative Comedy Experience, starts the day by eroticising waterproof jackets and roller coasters, ridiculing biro manufacturers, and destroying the patriarchy. And all at 11:10 am in a Gloucester accent. Includes some shouting. The only stand-up to have been billed alongside both Lionel Blair and Naomi Wolf. 'Has real political bite ... brilliant.' (Telegraph). 'Hits highs of genuine brilliance' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Avant-garde comedian of prodigious talent' (Guardian). 'Utterly entertaining'(Times). 'Hilarious'(Observer).

Katy Brand: A woman has made feminism funny

Bridget Christie: 'I've a long way to go'

The winner of this year's Edinburgh Comedy award is one of our sharpest and most political standups - but reckons she still has a lot to learn. She talks about success, her unorthodox campaign against lads' mags, and why all female comics know that online abuse is nothing new.

Opinion: Bridget Christie's tabloid past

One place I haven't seen her richly-deserved success get much coverage, however, is in the Daily Mail.

Edinburgh Fringe interview: Bridget Christie

Bridget Christie has been a perpetual favourite at the Fringe in recent years, combining surrealist tangents with searing feminist polemic and donkey costumes.

More details

This year Bridget has appeared in BBC Radio 4's Bridget Christie Minds The Gap, the Amish/Sex Pistols sketch on BBC Two's It's Kevin, Comedy Central's Alternative Comedy Experience, and BBC One's Have I Got News for You, and was the most conspicuously under-qualified feminist at the South Bank Centre's Women Of The World festival. Bridget Christie is the only stand-up to have been billed alongside both Lionel Blair and Naomi Wolf.

Pushed over the edge by rage and confusion, Bridget Christie has finally replaced the elaborate animal costumes and strange 17th century props she used in her previous seven solo shows with simple frustration and some shouting. But is a lady comedian even allowed to shout? Why does BiC think women need special biros? Who decided that Margaret Thatcher and Beyonce were feminist icons? Hasn't feminism got anyone else? Why is Bridget pleased that Sir Stirling Moss, the former British racing driver, fell 50ft down a lift shaft, breaking both his ankles? And why wouldn't Stylist Magazine let Bridget write an article about Malala Yousafzai, the 15 year old Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban?
