Amy Gledhill is well established across comedy, winning awards, being part of The Delightful Sausage and Gein’s Family Giftshop, and also as an excellent stand-up with wonderful stage presence, so this review could stop right there but that is not allowed.

Not only is Amy’s show gag packed but no doubt due to her time as a sketch performer she almost imperceptibly adds movement when describing actions which is clever and so effective. With the energy and vivacity of Dawn French and stacks of comedy gold and charisma, Amy is warm, exceptionally engaging and lots of fun.

Straight away the audience is bewitched, laughing loudly, while being drawn into her world. She is a suberb and perceptive storyteller who manages to find so much humour, so brilliantly, where mere mortals would see nothing noteworthy. There is lots of clever action-packed observations about her life experiences, provoking constant laughter, plus much recognition . Altogether Amy Gledhill again delights.
