I'm really surprised by the Jeremy Clarkson style invective from a couple of previous reviewers. Pickett might provide a style of comedy that isn't to everyone's taste, but I can't see how anyone would find it so upsetting! I don't think she was trying to be Bill Hicks but took a wrong turning - I'm pretty sure she was trying to do a whimsical fantasy world where she played all the characters with touches of sadness and touches of madness. I'd say she got it right, to be honest. I was pleasantly surprised.

Brilliant fun. Hilarious trip through a world of crazy characters and occasionally touching drama. It really works well. I've got to say that its a well written show (which isn't always the case for plays/comedies in my Edinburgh experience). Ruth is a very good actress. She seemed natural and believable on stage and I am quite frankly shocked that this is her debut solo show. The amount of thought and effort that has gone into this is quite amazing: You get a well designed leaflet that coincides with the play (and is also very funny) and her website - which I went on before watching is vast and detailed and adds to the whole experience in my view. She's young, talented, beautiful: I think this girl might be one to watch. I would give this the highest mark available. And that, people of Edinburgh - trust me - does not happen often
