'An abundance of charm and humour' (Theatre and Arts Review). 'Sharp, funny and fearless' (Karen Bayley). 'The material here is personal, sometimes darkly so, and that gives it heft' (Scotsman).

Even though the show is sometimes difficult to follow, in particular if English is not your native language, I found it very enlightening. It doea teach you a lesson of resilience, and the gives you quite a bit of laugh. This show will be one of the most memorable experiences of the fringe this year for me.
