Ms. Stevenson has been around for a while but not really broken through yet like some of her peers. So this was quite a small cosy gig and I sat up front (as I like to do when I can at comedy gigs).
So, obviously, I fell in love with her (the first of several that day). Smart, clever, engaging, self-deprecating, pretty - what's not to like?
Shame she spent about a third of her set banging on about America (specifically racism and gun-control). Now, it's just me I know, and if a comic feels strongly about something then why not plunder it for material? It's just nothing they say or do will change a country they have zero influence or say over - perhaps focus more on UK and EU issues which, y'know, allegedly, you still have some vague involvement with. Just sayin' ...
Anyway the rest was all good and she finished strongly with a stirring celebration of women and femininity - which largely involved shouting "Vagina House! Vagina House!" at me over and over again (it was a routine about menstruation - she was trying to embarrass me as part of her routine; I resisted the urge to say I was getting the weirdest boner).
Worth checking out and good fun. And she gave me a promotional tampon at the end (picture below) which I'm not entirely sure what to do with it and not convinced it will help change the VAT policy on sanitary products. But I think it means we're engaged now so that's nice.
I told you she gave me a tampon ...
... and I tweeted her about the show and to thank her. Being a good sport she replied!
