I've always wanted to see Jessie in her own show, a d she didn't disappoint. This show converted an existing fan to a bigger fan, and my girlfriend who was "worried she's actually just as annoying as her character in HP" to a crying mess who felt all the pain, and fell in love

This is a fantastic show! Jessie's show is full of honesty, funny stories and an insight into her slightly neurotic mind. Bit, it'd so relatable cause we're all a little like that in my opinion! Very honest and insightful. Plus, after the show make sure to check our her merch stall for some amazing prints and badges!

Soooooo good and relatable if you’re neurotic in any way. Jessie vulnerably works through her trauma through impeccable writing and hilariously paced stories about her life and relationships. This is what Fringe is all about! I loved it so so much!

This is a colourful and entertaining show and somewhat mad ! I loved watching Jessie share her personality and quirks with the audience through a variety of theatrical techniques (shadow puppetry, reenacted conversations and my favourite part - improv!).

Very clever and very funny. Definitely a different approach to comedy - but why don't more comedians use shadow puppetry?? Absolutely worth seeing if you're interested in the themes of relationships and parenthood.

I love Jessie Cave, and finally getting to watch her show did not disappoint. It is so honest and joyous and funny and thoughtful. Jessie is so likeable and wonderful. She connected with the audience so well, I came out really feeling the energy of the room. Everyone loved her - as they should. Big recommend. Thank you for sharing it with us. Also the shadow puppets are fab.

An Ecstatic Display, written and performed by Jessie Cave, delivers one hour of quirky storytelling which includes stand-up, props, shadow puppetry, crowd work and Shakespeare. Her personality and charm make the show a very entertaining one, skillfully weaving its many concepts. The show is incredibly unique and a testament to the talented, fun and powerful voice of Jessie Cave.
