C4

As a singer, Suttie has quite some vocal range, plus a couple of nifty tricks down her trachea, best demonstrated in her ice-breaker: an echoey impression of Amy Winehouse trapped down a well.

Her songs make sweet, compelling listening but the stand-up is more wavering, for example losing her way in a convoluted, but ultimately unrewarding tale involving the neighbour’s cat. And when she reads a letter from her naïve mother, it elicitswry smiles rather than hearty chuckles; although this routine turns out to be the groundwork for some later fun and games with Google’s automatic translator, rather than a standalone piece.

Suttie exudes a snug charm that’s guaranteed to warm your every cockle, even if she lack’s a headliner’s punch. So the audience were left happy, if in a mellow way.

She's appalling. I hope no licence money goes to her

I just love Isy Suttie's Love Letters on R4 at the moment. Such sweet and gentle, quirky, unique humour. I can't wait for a gig in the Manchester area to see Isy live.

Isy Suttie is wonderful. I think I love her.

Swamp Thing, January 2011

A pleasure to watch, thoroughly beguiling and likable.

Saw Isy at Edinburgh last week and unfortunately it was absolutely dreadful. I was expecting so much more. Her characters were really awful with no depth and her jokes, well simply not funny. Sorry Isy.

WB, August 2008

Saw her twice in the space of two days and did the exact same act both times. Did well in front of a younger crowd supposrting Rusell Howard, but then saw her die in an admittedly tough gig in Porthcawl that really wasn't her sort of gig. Found something that worked (doing impressions of how various singers would sound down a well) and milked that to get through the 20 minutes, constantly looked her watch and told the crowd she wasn't going very well. Seems one of those acts that can't cope well when it isn't working. Material only so-so and not someone I expect to hear a lot more from.
