Dawn French says “Jayde Adams is the 3rd funniest woman in the world. Fact.”
Last year her debut Edinburgh Fringe show was nominated for the prestigious 2016 Best Newcomer.

With Jayde you get stand-up comedy, you get sit down tales, the threat of acrobatic stunts is ever present.
You get a range of singing styles, great keyboards. You get impressions. A bit of mime. Phew!
It’s all splendidly delivered with a refreshing energy, she has mastered her chosen trade. Her vocal range is truly amazing!
Jayde’s performance is lovely, she engages with her audience in a tender way. She gently tells us how she found the time to memorise whole film scripts. She raps about her school days.
She grabs our attention, we empathise and when she counsels us on friendships and raising children we don’t mind.
We listen enthusiastically.
Great entertainment…funny and positive. A tour de force (such a dated cliché but appropriate here).
