Lorna has been pretending to be other people for fun since she could dress herself. Now she's inviting you inside her mind for an hour of characters, comedy, content, content, costumes and content. Chortle's Best Sketch Act 2024. 'A gloriously daft hour' ***** (Telegraph's Top 5 Comedy Shows 2023). 'The most fun a person can have in a room featuring folding chairs' ***** (Observer).

Show is now finished its Edinburgh run, but it's definitely one to check out if it ever returns to the Fringe or elsewhere — and based on this performance, whatever else emerges from Rose Treen's mind in the future is bound to be worth the ticket price. It's something of a slow-burn type of show, and the first segment had me questioning my choices for the evening's entertainment, but after 10 minutes it was clear this was something quite unique with a very different, very funny kind of comedy. Rose Treen's acting skills and sheer energy in this whirlwind hour are as impressive as her joke-writing and comic timing. Unlike anything else you will see.

I think this show has ended and doesn't need to be promoted. But I wanted to post this in the hope Lorna sees this. I thought this was BRILLIANT. I loved every minute of the show. The control you have during the chaos is outstanding. I need to see this show again. *****

This was a was odd, loud, silly, and extremely funny show that had me laughing out loud multiple times. I would recommend this to anyone who likes comedy…especially comedy that’s a little offbeat.

This show is so brilliantly funny and daft. It has that amazing ‘bottled chaos’ type energy you get from great alternative comedy. Lorna is the real deal.

Quite possibly the best thing I've seen at the fringe in years, my cheeks hurt from laughing and from hearing the chat on the way out I think others had enjoyed it just as much.

Rose Treen knows herself well, and I envy her ability to go on stage and become whoever she wants to be.
