Liz Bentley

I am a comedienne, writer, poet and musician.

I like to perform sit down comedy with my ukulele and Casio keyboard at comedy, cabaret, music, literary and company events - or anywhere else. I can provide anything from a 20 minute set to a couple of hours entertainment.

I have performed at some fantastic clubs, theatres and comedy, literary and music festivals with comedians like John Hegley, Josie Long and Robin Ince to name but a few. I was extremely honoured to read poetry for the late Malcolm Hardee's memorial, on Simon Munnery's Resonance Radio show.

I am the first winner of "Poetry Idol" and the only ever winner of "Poetry Idol the Rivals" at Short Fuse, Camden Head.

"Like a female Ivor Cutler" The Scotsman

"Such an exhilarating experience. Bentley is beguiling, her show proves to be one of the barmiest 60 minutes you could spend at the Fringe" Cortle ****

"Truly the most indefinable act I have ever seen. The experience was so surreal that I wouldn’t want to have missed it." Three Weeks 2007

The humour is wonderfully subtle... dark, a little bit frightenning, and definitely one of my fringe highlights." THREE WEEKS ***** Edinburgh 2004

"A brilliant performance ending a great conference" ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE COUNSELLORS CONFERENCE 2005, Nottingham University
