I loved this show with its gutsy variety of music movement and speech. It tells a powerful poignant story. I thought it very clever and well put together. I felt that Sarah Louise Young easily takes the audience with her . Loved it
Thank you

What a performer, showcasing a wonderful story of how important a voice can be! I have seen Sarah in various cabarets, shows and comedies before. This one certainly was a perfect showcase of personable heartfelt storytelling. It’s definitely got a fun cabaret vibe too for those looking for a softer story telling. Some great moments which bought me from smiles to sadness! A lovely hour of my time!

I have seen Sarah-Louise Young in many wonderful shows over the years, as her clever cabaret characters, in her work with Michael Roulston and her biographical shows 'Julie Madly Deeply' and 'An Evening without Kate Bush'.
But this year she has brought a brand new show which is much more personal and fearless. In it she recounts how a singer can lose her voice, and what she has done to get it back.
It is a brave and beautiful piece and highly recommended.
Go see her @Summerhall while you can.

Absolutely wonderful! Revealing and painful, a mystery unfolding all while being hugely entertaining. A glimpse into the life of a dedicated and wounded and gorgeous artist, which left me awed and disturbed in the best of ways. Go!!

I absolutely loved this deeply personal one woman show by the amazing Sarah-Louise Young who delivers a warm, funny, sharp, wonderfully inventive and very moving performance which deserves all the praise and recognition it will undoubtedly receive. Go and see it.
