Fleabag live review
Phoebe Waller-Bridge's filthy comedy is even more hilarious and heartbreaking live.
Claire Webb, Radio Times, 9th December 2016Live review: Fleabag
As calling cards go, Fleabag is attention-grabbing: an audacious, hilarious, candid, compelling and heartbreaking look at the life of a very modern 'hot mess'.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 9th December 2016Live review: Fleabag
This was interesting. I've never been to a performance in a theatre that felt so much like a cross between a rock gig by your favourite band and a victory lap of honour. Having gathered various stage prizes Phoebe Waller-Bridge's play was then adapted for BBC3 and will no doubt go on to collect TV awards by the bucketload in the next few months.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 9th December 2016Fleabag live show: there is more to comedy than laughs
As a comic creation, Fleabag is mean, self-involved, sexually inappropriate, miserable and disturbingly excellent company.

British Comedy Guide, 24th November 2016Meet the woman behind Fleabag
How Phoebe Waller-Bridge turned a favour for a friend into a women-behaving-badly Britcom that's a cult hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
David Fear, Rolling Stone, 7th November 2016Phoebe Waller-Bridge interview
Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge talks sex, feminism and 'wanking' to President Obama.
Michelle Lanz, KPCC, 29th October 2016The itch left by Fleabag
I am exhausted of explaining why Fleabag is not enough, why Girls isn't enough. I, as a young woman, am hungry for more. I am starving for something more to chew on, to watch television that reflects what it's like to be struggling in a way that doesn't involve nicking a bottle of wine and masturbating to Obama. I want to see the comedy in the truly difficult things that women face today and to find the relief in it.
Ava Pickett, Funny Women, 12th October 2016No laughing matter: the rise of the TV 'sadcom'
From Transparent and Master Of None to Fleabag and Flowers, the latest comedy series are ditching gags for harsh reality and breaking new ground in the process.
