REVIEWS-
Jess’ debut Edinburgh solo show went up to the Gilded Balloon in 2011. It got lots of lovely press and awards, here are a few:
"Intensely Funny...Fireball of Fun" - Timeout
"This show will be another boon to her career" - The Independent
"I would recommend not waiting long to see her" - Edinburgh Festivals
"Really all about the jokes, and she doesn’t embark on a path unless there’s a funny at the end
of it, and ideally a few smaller ones along the way too. She also has a winning delivery,
adept at misdirection, and speaks with the confident cadence that instinctively matches the
rhythm of a joke... stand-up you might expect from a much more experienced performer” - Steve
Bennett, Chortle
AWARDS from Edinburgh 2011-
