Beth Vyse's sassy, leopard print clad alter ego Olive Hands (Britain's number two in the morning!), daytime TV wannabe, resurrects her career again! Can she finally talk her way into the perfect Hand's job? Olive Hand's left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. 'Hands down the funniest thing I've seen at the Fringe' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'This show has cult written all over it, a formidable comic actress' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'The most gigantic idiot on the Fringe' **** (Scotsman). **** (Skinny). **** (Stage). **** (ThreeWeeks).
