Diane Spencer gave birth to a giant dwarf

John Fleming, John Fleming's Blog, 8th September 2015Fringe Interview Diane Spencer

Chris Cooke, ThreeWeeks, 13th August 2013Edinburgh Fringe 2013 interview Diane Spencer
The first time I saw Diane Spencer's show I was impressed. Female comics get something of a bad rap on the circuit yet every year a flurry of top class female comics kill at the fringe and Spencer is one of the finest. She manages to bring her audience 'in' on the joke and for an hour one is treated story-form comedy by one of the best.
