Chloe Petts is fast becoming a Fringe institute, 3 previous critically acclaimed Fringe shows, sold out signs from the get-go. And now she is a reluctant role model.

Chloe has a packed hour mostly featuring her love of the ‘lad culture’ she learned in the 90’s, but there is much more than this crammed into her delightfully written, laugh filled hour. Starting with the show title explanation, her first job, red top news paper headlines and inside page illustrations, her parents, the almost obsessive like of Kasabian, coming out to her mother, pints and golf with her father and never too far away the love of football, although it is the Lionesses this time rather than Crystal Palace, that feature and some of her dating experiences.

The charisma and stage presence that she possesses, together with a raft of well-crafted, hilarious, occasionally self-deprecating content make this is an hour that absolutely flew by.

Petts has numerous TV and radio appearances over the last few years, panel shows, quizzes and on sports programmes as an expert which I can only see continuing, but in my opinion it is performing live is where Chloe is at her best.

Tickets will surely be at a premium so don’t miss out yours.
