look forward to what she’s doing. She’s brilliant.” Laura Lexx
‘Onw to watch.’ Funny Women
‘A show I guarantee anyone at the Fringe will enjoy.’ **** Mumble
“There’s a sharp mind behind the sweet exterior. As her writing credits on Mock the Week suggest, she knows how to craft a well-made one-liner. Birkby wins the audience’s affection so thoroughly” **** The Telegraph

Chelsea’s a natural and delivered a show that you’d expect for someone who has been playing Edinburgh for years.” **** RGM
