Review: SORRY

Their format works extremely well - 15 minutes chat with their guest at the top of the show and then the rest of the time spent riffing on the subjects raised.

Review: Sorry at Vault Festival

Experienced improvisers may have caught a few slips in commitment, listening and the ability to be changeable, while thinking ahead and looking forward in the scene, instead of taking in the moment and reacting to it... but those are not likely to be things audiences will be looking out for.

Interview: Alison Thea-Skot

We are big fans of Alison Thea-Skot here at Funny Women. This month she's taking her new show It's Thea-Skot in Here (So Take Off All Your Clothes) to Soho Theatre in London. If you like comedy that's a tad on the unhinged side that has little to no grip on reality then this is the show for you. We chatted to Alison about her show, how she got into comedy and why it's plausible that Celine Dion could have Michael Bolton by the balls...
