Olga Koch Comes from Money 4.5****

From the initial ‘rock-star’ entrance, hitting the stage dressed in a power suit Olga Koch hits the ground running. A little audience interaction and she is off, explaining wealth and how it is obtained, be it from Russian oligarch, working … Read More

Alice Snedden : Highly Credible 4.5****

It takes a hell of a lot of confidence to be a stand up comedian and Alice does reference this extraordinary confidence. It got her through the very tough, some might say savage, environment of an all girls school. And … Read More
