Former model Ellie Taylor first came to my attention when she was one of the comics featured on ‘Show me the Funny’ on TV a couple of years ago. She has also been the presenter of Snog, Marry Avoid on BBC3 so I was less than surprised to see her show as a sell out on Day One.

The fare on offer was of a consistently high standard, she has a great presentation style and her bubbly personality coupled with an inclusive demeanour was lapped up by the varied crowd, including three Spanish people on the front row whose English was at best limited.

The theme of the show is to make the most of what you have rather than what you’ve not and she has plenty of things going for her as far as I am concerned

The material was wide and varied inducing many belly laughs and touched on subjects as being back living at home, her modelling career, Essex people, cat videos her long distance relationship but this is just a sample of her 40 minute set.

I would thoroughly recommend this show to anyone wanting to start off their Fringe day on the right foot, but don’t be late as I said it was sold out on day one.

As part of The Laughing Horse Free Festival entry is free but a bucket collection is taken at the end, so don’t forget to fold your donation before putting it in.
