Testimonials

She’s gifted with snappy wit and crackling talent.
The Guardian 

A talent for smart comic writing and the ability to keep an audience rapt.
The Observer

Holly Walsh really impressed…excellent sets and endeared herself through some assured banter with crowds who really took to her.
British Comedy Guide

Holly was brilliant and we’ve received lots of great feedback. We were really impressed with how she tailored her set to the aviation theme and the Venn Diagrams were fab. In particular, I’m told the Heathrow CEO found the Heathrow joke very funny.
