Jerry Sadowitz gig cut short after punter falls ill
Reports suggest that when Sadowitz saw a man clambering over seats, he asked if he was on his way up to the stage to assassinate him. However, it then became apparent that another man had stopped breathing and had to be taken out of the theatre. Sadowitz reportedly said: 'Stopped breathing? That's all I need on my fucking CV isn't it?' and left the stage.
Jay Richardson, Chortle, 24th May 2019Review: Leah MacRae
The script doesn't always sparkle - she's no Sue Townsend. Still, it's authentic, and there's some very funny observational humour (particularly about the film Ghost).

Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 1st April 2019Comedy review: Sindhu Vee: Sandhog
Highly perceptive on the enduring stories we tell ourselves about love, Vee's stage presence and unapologetic conviction dares you to find fault with her reasoning.
