First show to see at the fringe, and what a great way to start. Benny as MC was awesome, and really witty. Shout out to Gabby for her set, really funny and well worth seeing!

Loved this. So much more than a "diversity show". Really good platform to see some genuinely well thought out and thought through comedy. Massive respect for anyone doing a standup set, more so for anyone that has additional barriers to overcome. Spectacularly non-PC in stages. Really enjoyed. Many thanks.

Wonderful! I was granted an opportunity to do spoken word which was so welcoming. It was a talented and well done line up show casing all abilities and celebrating diversity. Benny was a fantastic, helpful and talented host for the evening. Thanks everyone!
