PRESS & REVIEWS

“Packed with gags at a great hit rate, even in the more serious moments... destined for the top... “A real star in the making. With top notch references, a great stage presence and a brilliantly executed show, Birkby will no doubt soon be playing to bigger crowds and bigger rooms and it’ll be well deserved”. ★★★★.5 The Sunday Post
“You cannot help but really like her” ★★★★.5 The Phoenix Remix
“There’s a sharp mind behind the sweet exterior. As her writing credits on Mock the Week suggest, she knows how to craft a well-made one-liner. Birkby wins the audience’s affection so thoroughly... .The Fringe’s meekest “bad bitch”. ★★★★ The Telegraph
“A hugely promising and already accomplished stand-up, surely destined for greater things” ★★★★ The Scotsman
“A seriously promising show – deceptively smart, tightly structured, and delivered with chatty charm... Sharply serious – but still somehow silly” ★★★★ Fest
“Chelsea’s a natural and delivered a show that you’d expect for someone who has been playing Edinburgh for years.” ★★★★ RGM
“Both naughty and nice” “Has the feel of a conversation with friends” ★★★★ Ed Fringe Review
“Chelsea Birkby has the material and demeanour of a comedian who could make it all the way to the top... Her new comedic style has been established as a sort of polite rock star. It’s certainly unusual, but it’s hilarious.” ★★★★ Entertainment Now
“Peppered with good gags and a wide spectrum of pop-culture references, Birkby is a winsome and funny stage presence.” ★★★★ ThreeWeeks
“She can make a joke out of anything... She’s a charming comedian. The new and rebranded Chelsea focuses on sex, drugs and rock and roll in her set but in a hilariously off meta way” Deadline News
“Chelsea cooked up a good, intelligent set – her polished writing skills are laudable, a series of clever jokes built chiefly upon a solid foundation of audience interaction... Both touching and funny” Mumble
“Birkby shines when it comes to one-liners and quick gag... A brilliant career awa
