British Comedy Guide, 17th March 2015Bridget Christie on Hans Teeuwen
The unnerving Dutch comedian defies categorisation and revels in edgy absurdism. Behind the nonsense, he's hysterically funny and deadly serious.

Katherine Ryan, Bridget Christie, Stewart Lee and Steve Coogan all feature in the show, which runs from 20 February to 2 March at the Embassy Tea Gallery in Southwark, London.

Bridget Christie has always been one of the funniest people I know - brilliantly original and often awesomely daft.
Sarah Millican, Standard Issue, 15th January 2015Radio Times review
Comedian Bridget Christie has done two Edinburgh shows and now two Radio 4 series on the state of feminism in Great Britain today. Her tone is vituperative as she acknowledges the shtick she takes for not changing the subject matter of her shows -- has the lot of women now so improved that sexism does not need questioning any more, she demands?
Her material ranges from new takes on the classic comedy sketch format to borderline rants. But her points are well made and what's not to like about her own, personal rape fantasy -- apparently all we women have them -- "more prosecutions and longer sentences"?
