Also Performing:


VIVIENNE KAY

Home Counties girl Vivienne Kay has been performing stand up for four years and brings a delightful charm undercut by wit and cynicism to shows throughout the UK.

Don't let her apparent virtue fool you. Described as having 'funny bones', she mixes an innocence with unexpected darkness in gag filled sets.

Vivienne Kay has plenty to say ... think Joe Pasquale on helium ... a winning, slightly vulnerable persona
Chortle

Solid comedy
The Wee Review

Quirky, on the money style a talented comedian who makes the audience feel at home
Suffolk Punch Comedy Club.
