Critical reception

[edit]

Steve Bennett of Chortle gave a positive review of the Canterbury show, stating that Millican's "normality is key to her appeal [which allows] her audience see themselves reflected in her". He concluded by saying that Millican "excels" in her writing, "with plenty of acidic punchlines [within the show] to win over a crowd".[1] Elle May Rice of The Liverpool Echo gave the Liverpool show three out of five stars and a mixed review, saying that it was "unashamedly filthy [and] shocking" yet criticised that "the show started shakily".[2] However, Clive Davis of The Times gave the show a negative review, stating that "you [...] have to be a die-hard fan to enjoy her latest show, which rambles around familiar themes" and gave two out of five stars.[3]
