Some of the most intelligent comedy I've seen. She's one of only a few truly original comics in the country: stand-up needs Natalie Haynes or the future of British comedy really will be just fat blokes telling knob gags and smug sketch shows on Radio 4.

Ben, June 2004


First impressions are of a homely primary school teacher who has the cringefully annoying tone of a (passe) Purple Ronnie greeting card. But wait, it gets worse. Her attempts at engaging the audience in her endless list of 'things that have been/gone wrong for me' fail and are nothing more than the comedy equivalent of an irritating office bore. Without gaining any empathy, her strikes at the afflicted are totally out of place - leave that sort of stuff to Ricky Gervais, who can deliver tricky subjects with wit and brilliance. And as for the Perrier nomination talk - get real. If she EVER gets nominated I will weep for the future of British comedy. Get off Natalie, go an make some potato shapes and do what you were supposed to - patronise kids. Just don't con us into thinking that we're about to see ground breaking comedy. It just simply isn't.

Caroline, May 2004


Not that impressed, she was dying until the front row pressed her on a mention of a former teaching career.... then she came alive and stormed it.

Scary, April 2004


Saw her show in Edinburgh having not seen her for a couple of years and she is pretty good. Her anger at not being nominated for a Perrier is misplaced, though. It's not that she wasn't nominated because she's a woman. She wasn't nominated because she simply isn't that great. She may be one day. But she isn't now.

Dave Hanlon, September 2003


Seen her twice in Liverpool now and both times she was an absolute delight, her material is original and delivered with real charm. I'd recommend her to anyone.

David, September 2003


Awful! I have seen her a couple of times and am still shocked at just how good she thinks she is.

Polly, September 2003


Brilliant. Edgy and thought-provoking. I saw her at Liverpool last year and she rocked. The new material is even better. Natalie should be on television.

Lucy Gosht, June 2003


Biggest pile of shite I have ever seen. Is she ever gonna write any new material? Don't waste youre money, she's painful to watch.

Gemma, May 2003
