Never Get to Heaven in an Empty Shell

This show was so good (and so touching and emotional) that I decided to call it a day early and head to the airport as nothing else that day was going top it!

Emotional, incredibly touching, with the right amount of relatable laughs (as a 26 year old living in London)! I can’t find the words to describe it really. I’ll have a go and say - it perfectly describes life in London, and feeling stuck “in between”. Not going to say any more than that as I’m not keen on spoiling anything!

A one-woman show so I wasn’t expecting this to be one of my favourite shows of the Fringe. But experiencing the emotional honesty and fragility of Claud’s performance and taking part in her journey really moved me and felt like a huge privilege. GO SEE IT!!!

A brilliant show - in parts comic, then thoughtful, poignant and moving. Claudia is terrific. Her delivery and engagement never waivers over the hour as the story moves from scene to scene as her memories and stories flow together. Deserves the 5 stars seen on the posters!

I found this so moving, the actor is so good at conveying that lost feeling when you lose a parent. An excellent production that deserves bigger audiences. Bravo.

I had the privilege of seeing this in my fleeting visit to Edinburgh and I was blown away by the sincerity and care of the performance. The plotting was excellent, the direction spot on and the main actor was utterly captivating. You must go and see this one before the fringe is over!!

A wonderfully well written piece. The characters journey through the piece is engaging and exciting. The story leaves you wanting more, and wondering what does getting to heaven look like. Not one to miss!

A riveting, powerful and moving performance. In such an intimate venue, time stands still and you really feel the emotion of the clever story-telling. It has been a few days now since we saw the show, and I find I keep thinking about it more and more. The Fringe at its best; a must see.

Dealing with a parents passing is never an easy task, but this show creates a wonderful exploration of grief and letting go. It's moving, it's funny and it's a beautiful tale to behold. Very worth your time.

Yesterday the audience was held utterly captive by Claudia Fielding's writing and performance, full of bathos and authenticity, taking us through one woman's personal grief and her merciful ascension out of it. The direction and production is skilfully understated, giving space to the performance and its meaning. Hats off ladies.

What a great performance - I wasn't the only person in the audience who was really moved. Original, surreal, comical and heartfelt. Highly recommended.
