Jovanka Steele – Original Review

Note: This review is from 2002

Review by Steve Bennett

This sassy Californian easily dispels all stereotypes of blondes and Americans with some piercingly smart observations and imaginatively conceived routines.

Unfortunately, it's a high standard she cannot yet maintain throughout a longer routine, where she is apt to wander a little, but impressive nonetheless. She also occasionally lapses into her American ways - for example pausing after the announcement that she's quit alcohol, in expectation of some supportive audience whoops, which - of course - never materialise from cynical Brits.

However, as the rest of her routine rises to match her sharpest insights, we can expect to see more of this bright comic.
