Christie is generally portrayed as a feminist comedian and while it's true that there are strong feminist themes throughout the label rather unjustly seems to cast her as a bit of a one trick pony. There's a lot of arguments being explored in this hour, with injustice the linking factor.
There's a wonderful passage about Nigel Farage being a character created by a comedian (although it makes you feel sad to remember he's actually real....) and some good stuff on the discomfort that white people feel trying to discuss racism. She picks on the Tories for their evil behaviour and Labour for their general uselessness. There's no lecturing involved, instead she's just very, very funny.
Highly recommended.
Bridget Christie : A Book For Her is in the Stand at 11.00 until the 31st. The Fringe website is showing all dates as sold out.
