Bridget Christie, Time Out, 4th November 2014Bridget Christie - The Lowry, Salford
The rant as a comic device has been around for some years. Lenny Bruce, in his decline, rambled on about legal procedures and censorship.

Sat in the middle of the second row of a small arts centre with nobody sat in the seat in front of me, it wouldn't have been unusual to feel on edge, exposed or even anxious at the thought of spending two hours sat eye to eye with the force that is Bridget Christie. But it may come as a surprise for you to hear that as an audience member, I have never felt more comfortable than when sat listening to Bridget perform her material.
