Holly Burn: I Am Special
Holly's special, she knows it... but when will everyone else catch on?! The loud voice of Generation Y wants it all, without doing anything to get it. 'A proper mad comedian' (Stewart Lee's Fringe Recommendation 2015). A gloriously silly woman with a warped mind and a cheerful disregard for shame.' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Hilarious... Burn is an irresistible performer .... her writing is strong too, packed with deliciously surreal details...' (Independent). James Acaster's Top Comedy Picks 2015. 'One of my favourite acts to watch ever' (Guardian). 'Turns stand-up on its head. **** (ToDoList.org.uk).
