Dark, bold and razor-sharp, this is the hotly anticipated UK debut by multi award-winning Australian comedian Laura Davis. 'An hour with Laura Davis leaves you feeling uplifted, somewhat bewildered, and utterly amazed by such blistering talent' (Time Out, Melbourne). 'Impossible not to laugh, everyone left on a high' ***** (Herald Sun). 'A refreshing disregard for convention shines through every aspect of her work. It's cathartic, it's twisty, it's surprising... it's, dare I say, Kitsonesque?' (TheMusic.com.au). Winner: Best Independent Show, Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Best Comedy, Melbourne Fringe.

Squirrel Comedy, 1st July 2017Reviews
"Laura Davis has been working in comedy for a decade now, with a string of TV credits to her name. For all her experience and relative success, she has virtually no profile in the UK, her current Fringe run prompting the 29-year-old to travel outside her native Australia for the first time. Going in to Cake in the Rain cold is a genuinely exciting experience as it feels like watching a vital, fully-formed talent emerge from out of nowhere. Pay close attention to Davis's performance and you can just about appreciate the amount of graft that's got her to where she is." - Festmag.co.uk
"An off-kilter perspective is a quality attributed to all kinds of comics. But for Laura Davis, who's never previously left Australia, it's absolutely true and then some." **** - The Scotsman
"Giddy with big ideas, sparkling with originality, and rich with hilarious wit." - Chortle UK
