In her one woman, Fringe debut, Jessie Nixon, single handedly lights up the room like Strictly GlitterBall, with her amazing show “Don’t Make Me Regret This”.  It’s a rapid-fire routine, interspersed with poetry corner, all delivered by a very well spoken Bristolian who has us in stitches with her irreverent take on life.

This feisty, flame haired, foxy lady brings the Crate down, with slamming punchlines and a beautifully worked show.  She’s insanely likeable and you want to go on a night out with her, she’s funny and snarky at the same time, a woman who gets her kicks by rejecting guys on dating apps.

Her poetry is wild, sharp and hits the spot, her home made smoke machine is an absolute triumph but maybe not very kind to the atmosphere.  Her sense of timing and delivery is brilliant, landing each line consistently and her dating stories in particular are outrageously funny.

I enjoyed this show so much that I’m going back with friends, look out Jessie Nixon, because we’re gonna do shots at the bar with you, so you can include us in your book of poems.
