Wonderful talent and very entertaining and touching relating her personal experiences....felt quite touched to be able to share some memories with her, being a mother of 4. Combining humour with grief a true talent. Good luck Janine, and enjoy motherhood X

Fantastic show. Her gift of combining great comedy with with personal grief and taking the audience with her is quite something. Do not miss

Absolutely incredible show, funny from start to finish, a masterful storyteller who will carry you through a wonderfully crafted hour of comedy. And doing so whilst 8 and a half months pregnant. Just go and see it!

Absolutely believe the hype! I was taken aback by her sheer talent! You would be missing out on something special if you didn’t watch this comedy mastermind at work. I’m only gutted I’m no longer at the fringe to watch this show again. Janine is incredible, and that is the hill I will gladly die on.

An incredibly funny and touching show. Also being from a mixed Middle Eastern background, it was lovely to have a show full of recognisable cultural moments! However, this show is so much more than just an exploration of background and pregnancy through comedy. It is hilarious, and had the whole audience rolling in their seats, but is balanced with incredible emotional weight, particularly in a moving twist at the end. It's rare for a comedian to be able to fit perfectly crass anecdotes and exploration of grief into a single show without it feeling disjointed, but Janine made the light and dark moments fit seamlessly together. She is not only a great comedian, but a very talented storyteller and performer. The show was structured beautifully, with no thread left loose by the end. I cannot recommend this show highly enough and completely loved it
