Ada is a true entertainer, with a warmth that radiates outwards and draws you in. She can say more with a facial expression than most can with a while chapter of words. How can you not love her!

Our third year seeing what Ada has brought to the fringe and long may it continue. Once again the word on the lips of the newbie we brought with us was "delightful". Ada's shows are a masterclass in storytelling, with wonderful accoutrements of magic, singing, and comedy, and Big Duck Energy lives up to its name

Ada Campe is a one of a kind comedy, cabaret and magic show. Ada takes us on a journey of her life in cabaret with the aid of magic, stories, original songs and witty repartee. Fans of camp comedy, and cabaret should not miss this warm and uplifting show. It’s a master class in the art of story telling and with nods to traditional music hall. Stunningly performed and hosted by Ada this is one show you really should not miss. We love you Ada!

Ada Campe promises Big Duck Energy and that's what she delivers in this fabulous show. It's a joyful journey through her life on the stage with comedy, song and wonderful magic. I haven't laughed so much for a very long time, this show is a true tonic, from an amazing performer. Funny, gentle and full of 'Big Duck Energy'. 5 quacks from me
