'An excellent line in cynicism about sex, life and friendship' (Evening Standard). 'Darkly humorous... smart... acerbic... endearingly charming' (Bust). 'Filthy and fearless' **** (Telegraph). 'A raucous, unapologetic hour with big laughs' ***** (Skinny). ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). ***** (FunnyWomen.com). ***** (TheWeeReview.com).
