Sloaney Holly Walsh paints herself as an oddball one-liner merchant, much in the line of Milton Jones, and even wears a whacky scarf and outdoor coat to underline the image. But that's misleading: she's warm and has an appealing style to her that's quirkily offbeat rather than out-and-out loony

She's got some good gags, too: puns that are in turns clever and silly, sometimes both at once, and a routine about her manic depressive mum that's very good indeed.

A newcomer to the circuit, she doesn't yet have enough consistency when it comes to quality, and can lose her way when the notably weaker material falls flat.

But she's certainly more than capable of writing a decent gag.
