Praise for the show
· “You cannot help but really like her” 4.5 stars The Phoenix Remix
· “Packed with gags at a great hit rate, even in the more serious moments, this is an assured debut from a performer who is surely destined for the top…A real star in the making” 4 stars Sunday Post
· “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” 4 stars Telegraph
· “A hugely promising and already accomplished stand-up, surely destined for greater things” 4 stars The Scotsman
· “Sharply serious – but still somehow silly” 4 stars Fest
· “Chelsea’s debut hour covers some deep subjects, mental health, sex and drugs. She says she no longer wants to be the the nice guy, but her genial, considerate (blessing the audience when they sneeze) presence tells us otherwise. Chelsea’s a natural and delivered a show that you’d expect for someone who has been playing Edinburgh for years.” 4 stars RGM
· “Both naughty and nice” “Has the feel of a conversation with friends” 4 stars Ed Fringe Review
· “Her new comedic style has been established as a sort of polite rock star. It’s certainly unusual, but it’s hilarious.” 4 stars Entertainment Now
· 4 stars Mervyn Stutter
· “Peppered with good gags and a wide spectrum of pop-culture references, Birkby is a winsome and funny stage presence.” 4 stars Three Weeks
