“A feisty comedy fireball of fun” Time Out

“If you only go and see one comedian in Edinburgh this year,make it Susan Murray you lazy b*stard” Jeremy Hardy

"Susan Murray is delightful from start to finish in this well-thought out hour taking on the topic of accents: their evolution; their assumptions; their sheer hilarity....the material uniquely witty and insightful" FEST ***

"If you know your glottal stops from your epiglottis then you’ll love this show. If you don’t, you’ll love it just the same. Sure there’s a bit of linguistics, but that’s just an excuse to fill the rest of this ripping show with a wry look at life (particularly Murray’s), the universe and everything....Murray works the packed audience with skill"
The Stage "Must See"           

"She has the mentality of a spiteful 14 yr old boy! Very admirable in a young lady!" Arthur Smith

“Susan Murray’s baffled everywoman persona cloaks a dry, intelligent wit.” Stewart Le

e“Mainstream success written all over her….brightly energetic, a real talent”   Edinburgh Guide.com
