The only thing crazier than Sammie was the welfare state supposed to be helping her! Getting your needs met in austerity Britain is a game of Russian roulette. Will she beat the system? 'Excellent storytelling, very funny' **** (One4Review.co.uk). 'A lot of comedians talk the talk when it comes to demanding social change, but Samantha Pressdee walks the walk' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Cheeky jokes intertwined with a startlingly honest account of her struggles' **** (Issuu.com/BunburyMagazine). 'A socio-political and cultural butterfly' **** (MumbleComedy.net). 'Free-thinking, hard-hitting and anarchic, but delivered with a twinkle in the eye' (Fringepig.co.uk). As seen on RT.

Starting with this one: What is the most impressive thing you have ever been underneath?
