Frances Taylor, Digital Spy, 2nd June 2015Review: Ellie Taylor, Soho Theatre
It is easy to see why this show did not trouble Edinburgh Comedy Award judges last summer. I suspect that they thought it was pretty lightweight. After all, all it does is make the audience laugh for an hour. That is just snobbery though. Entertaining strangers is not something to be knocked. Jake may have been the works outing boss, but Taylor was clearly the undisputed boss of this show.

When you think of the traditional interpretation of a feminist icon an Essex girl and former model does not spring to mind. But then Ellie Taylor's gentle self-depreciating humour makes clear she does not take herself so seriously as to suggest she might really conform to the usual image.
