Frances Taylor, Digital Spy, 2nd June 2015Review: Ellie Taylor, Soho Theatre
It is easy to see why this show did not trouble Edinburgh Comedy Award judges last summer. I suspect that they thought it was pretty lightweight.

Jake may have been the works outing boss, but Taylor was clearly the undisputed boss of this show.
