"gleefully dark..left the audience in a state of hysteric disrepair" - Latest 7


"Rachel Parris brings some warmth back to the room with her comedy songs and delightfully accessible and likeable persona. A genuine sweetness counteracts the darker elements of her character, and she has a natural charm and keen eye for observation. Her entertaining ditties are punctuated with some well-crafted lines...and at last an act gets the room on side enough to participate in a singalong, which is true testament to her skill as a performer."   - Corry Shaw, Chortle


"pink-tinged black-humoured songs filled with saccharine sarcasm...the biting leftfield wit still makes us laugh like loons. If the idea of Tim Minchin in a frock rocks your boat, seek out Ms Parris at the earliest opportunity." - The Londonist


"Ever ready to slap a punchline in your face" - Zap! Bang! Magazine
