Adam Sweeting, The Arts Desk, 21st May 2021

We Are Lady Parts preview

Review of Channel 4's new comedy about an all-Muslim female punk band.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th May 2021

We Are Lady Parts review

Channel 4's sweet, silly sitcom offers something we've never seen before on mainstream television: Muslim women being themselves, and rocking out to rowdy punk anthems.

Chitra Ramaswamy, The Guardian, 20th May 2021

We Are Lady Parts, review

Channel 4's sparky new comedy about an all-female Muslim punk band challenges expectations, but tries a bit too hard to be cool.

Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 20th May 2021

We Are Lady Parts review

Writer-director Nida Manzoor's comedy is plenty of fun, filled with instantly memorable characters.

Katie Rosseinsky, Evening Standard, 20th May 2021
