The Guardian, 21st December 2015Beth Vyse on As Funny as Cancer at the Soho Theatre
Beth Vyse has been a long time favourite of ours for her manic and insane characters. This year she mixed her trademark lunacy and penchant for silly props with the very personal tale of her cancer diagnosis. It's a truly remarkable show which became one of cult hits of the fringe, as funny as it was moving. We were able to catch up with her before her Soho Theatre run.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 16th November 2015From cancer to comedy: meet Beth Vyse
The story of a young woman finding out she has breast cancer doesn't suggest material for a comedy show. Yet Beth Vyse's autobiographical As Funny As Cancer was one of the stand-out performances at this year's Edinburgh Fringe and next week transfers to London for two nights at the Museum of Comedy. The timing is especially apt as October will be breast cancer awareness month.
