These four trailblazing comedians certainly know how to deliver a fabulously entertaining evening. Hannah Brackenbury turns popular songs into daft comedy gold. Clare Summerskill moves us from pathos to merriment with her yarns and ballads. Lara A King showcases her sense of the ridiculous through story and song. Julie Jepson brings quick-witted crowd work. Their collective years of stage time exude a charmingly gentle silliness. Hilarious, witty and silly! – DIVA Magazine
