Incredible
Well Done Denise 👊 You have smashed this one as always well and truly out of the park!! I’ve never ever known the similarity of two completely different formats to be near enough exactly the same as one another. I honestly truly truly thought if I shut my eyes I was back in the audience of the Birmingham theatre all those years ago when I first watched you perform S.G.I.U.T.K live the very very first time round. I still to this day proper proper belly laughed, it is absolutely hilarious and that will be because I can resonate with what Denise says and talks about. But bloody hell Denise literally makes me cry with happy funny tears. The Essex accent, The Essex way makes this incredible One Woman Show in my personal opinion an absolute must!! Be prepared Be very prepared for a massive surge and copious amounts of and in that good old Serotonin chemical of ours!! Feel Good Factor guaranteed. X
Great

Where do I start.. Brilliantly written and performed. So much detail you felt you were there. Took me right back to my teens. Denise’s voice is amazing and made me feel so emotional. More please more! X
