Madame Chandeliers is PHENOMENAL and I absolutely loved this! My husband and I will look out for her at the Fringe as we want to see it again.

Refreshingly different from what I had expected, it felt as if we were getting into a conversation and we’re all contributing. I thought it was courageous of Ali to depart from the usual format. It made me anxious initially, but I would know what to expect another time. Much more memorable than I had thought. Don’t usually go to comedy ; would seriously consider coming another time. I would prefer No bad language .
