User reviews
I am sorry to be rude about this show, I went because I had heard some extremely conflicting views on the show from its was 'un-reviewable as a comedy' to "a heartwarming funny story" !
Njambi is an attractive bright woman and it was a mildly interesting story fairly well told but besides a few shoe horned in avarage open mic level jokes it was just that, a story. Maybe a story that would be more interesting if it were told by somebody you might have heard of or might have something in common with but personally as a 23 year old scottish man I didn't care enough to put up with not actually laughing for the what seemed like a 2 hour show. Its not comedy at all and I so wanted to laugh. Please don't call it comedy.
Pretty, bright, interesting YES ! Funny NO !
