I saw Isabel's first show as Anna, Magic Steve's Assistant and her follow up is just an inventive and hilarious! Loving the uptight bell-ringer, "...like a Ba-BOOON!" - great stuff. All three characters are superbly rendered and are both funny and unfortunate in their own way. She pays real attention to detail and is completely believable. A festival must-see!

This was great. Isabel Fey uses the scene of a wedding in an interesting and innovative way to show three contrasting characters - a wedding planner, a bell ringer and a bride-to-be. The characters are uniquely funny but also quite endearing. There is real depth all three girls, especially the bride who comes across as both scary and pitiful. I can imagine there is a whole village of oddball characters somewhere and I would thoroughly recommend this. There is also cake.

Really enjoyed the show! Was a bit sceptical - as hadn't seen any of her work before, but really enjoyed it -and have since recommended it to friends / family! Thought her characters here side-splittingly funny (still chuckle thinking about the bells), and absolutely loved the ending! Really think this show is a classic festival gem - miss it, miss out. Only piece of advice - don't eat the wedding cake!

This is an awesome show from a very funny young lady! The three characters are all completely different and truly unique - and all absolutely hilarious! I loved every minute of it.

A fantastic show - so much more than elongated sketches as so much has gone into creating each character Isabel Fay plays. The way she reveals each character through tiny details ensures that you're captivated throughout and end up genuinely liking the characters, which given they are comic creations is a triumph. Really enjoyed it.

A brilliant show! I went to see a preview of this on Monday and it was just so funny. If this is a work in progress I can't wait to see the real thing. Having been dragged along by a mate I wasn't sure what to expect because I'd never heard of her, but this show was hilarious - her comic timing is incredible and the script is surprising and very clever, and the end is priceless but I won't spoil it for you. She is also quite cute but this is besides the point!
