There is no doubt that Tiff Stevenson is a quality comic in my opinion. She always has been and still is a funny lady who is not afraid to send herself up on occasions. But the last couple of Edinburgh shows she has added a slightly more serious tinge to her performance, but still more than able to deliver a funny and polished performance.

This year’s offering offers up her thoughts on a variety of subjects, Same Sex Marriage, feminism, Hollywood, Dubai, TV advertising, especially some booze adverts, gun control, fashion and sexuality all come under her comedy microscope. Some subjects could be awkward, even uncomfortable in other comics’ hands, but Ms Stevenson treads the fine line with panache and nobody should feel intimidated by the subject material.

She has, as always, written a quality show, her delivery manner is engaging and is simply yet effectively staged.
