The only thing crazier than Sammie was the welfare state supposed to be helping her! Getting your needs met in austerity Britain is a game of Russian roulette. Will she beat the system? 'Excellent storytelling, very funny' **** (One4Review.co.uk). 'A lot of comedians talk the talk when it comes to demanding social change, but Samantha Pressdee walks the walk' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Cheeky jokes intertwined with a startlingly honest account of her struggles' **** (Issuu.com/BunburyMagazine). 'A socio-political and cultural butterfly' **** (MumbleComedy.net). 'Free-thinking, hard-hitting and anarchic, but delivered with a twinkle in the eye' (Fringepig.co.uk). As seen on RT.

The most impressive thing you have ever been underneath

For this year's Edinburgh Fringe, we've teamed up with Richard Herring (you probably know him best as Journalist from The Battersea Ripper) to offer a peculiar twist on the traditional festival questionnaire - with all the queries taken from his book of Emergency Questions, as originally used on his Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, RHLSTP. Starting with this one: What is the most impressive thing you have ever been underneath?
