Ashley Storrie had her audience laughing before the show had even begun, up on the stage and bantering with all and sundry as they found their seats. So we were in a good mood by the time things got underway properly and the laughs continued for the next hour.
Effortlessly funny, Ashley has a lot to say about her unusual home life, the impact of puberty, the perils of having sex with shorter men and how to chat men up (or not....). She also has a novel way of dealing with catcalling builders. There's much there that's traditional comedy subject matter, but she's able to provide an original spin to most topics, and an infectious grin that dares you not to laugh. Storrie also works well with her audience, bringing individuals into the show without putting any pressure on them.
Although she can be tough enough when required. As her ejection of a chatting group of evil robot creators (I may not have that quite right....) proved. The audience approved.
Very funny stand up and definitely worth a visit.
A Very Tall Storrie is on in the Counting House at 18.15 until the 30th.
I was there today! Your review captured the show perfectly! I particularly loved thinking about my Fizzy NooNoooo! Ashley is a real star!!
