Original Review: Bursting onto the stage in an explosion of energy, bombastic Benjamin certainly makes an attention-grabbing entrance. The content , though, is inconsequential and derivative stuff, mainly about her appearance, and too frequently relying on shock value alone to get a laugh. Though delivered with undeniable verve, it's really just a parade of uninspired knob gags (such as "Ever met a guy whose dick's so big it's like wanking a lamppost") lacking any real merit. |

Excellent performer, she was born for the stage. Made the funniest, raunchiest jokes with no apologies. She's a brat, she's entertaining, she doesn't apologise. Self deprecating wit mingled with obtuse sex gags had our whole audience in stitches. Alot of her jokes were intelligent too, I mean she was making fun of an obtuse local newspaper we have in a small town in Galway. Definitely like her.... Clara, Ireland.

With a relentless energy and ferocious stage presence, Nina Benjamin is a barn-storming comic. She somehow manages to sport a different haircut every single night, and comes on-stage with an East End attitude that takes Bow by storm every night she's on. Top-notch. Alain English, June 2008 |

I've seen her up and down the country in front of a wide varied crowd. But at SoHOHO on Saturday night, she didn't seemed to bothered throughout the act. She didn't link the jokes together and it didn't seem to flow... It was almost like she had somewhere else to be (she was doing a few gigs that night!) I was really surprised as there was no big belly laughs from the crowd and lots of unfunny lines used that I heard over three years ago. It's a real shame as last time I saw her she brought the roof down but nowadays all her jokes seem to be about men, swearing, being a Cockney and being black! shredbetty, January 2008 |

An absolute hilarious joy. A few of the men looked uncomfortable but the women loved it. Negative comments come from the blokes who don't seem to mind wanking jokes when they're coming from a man but can't handle women getting down and dirty. Bring it on! Liz, April 2007 |

Excellent. Seemed to have a bit of a dodgy start but won the crowd round in no time at all. Very likeable and makes men and women alike laugh with her in-your-face attitude Ben, June 2006 |

Pant-wettingly funny. Amanda, May 2006 |

Love this woman! Yes she may be crude and in your face - but she really is just piss funny in a brash and wonderful way.Stop being so snooty! Lucy Smith, May 2006 |

She was boring, unfunny and relied on childish toilet humour for the very short time she was on. Dave, March 2006 |
