James Kettle, The Guardian, 11th January 2014Comedy review: Holly Walsh, Edinburgh
"How do I follow that?" enquired Holly Walsh of the preceding audience-participation act, which involved a spoof Latino star and over-elaborate fake penises.

Brian Donaldson, The List, 18th December 2013Radio Times review
Radio Times makes a cameo in the first of the stories here. It's a cautionary tale, Richmond Hammond informs us - attempting an ominous smile. It's also a silly one: a postman becomes the perfect boyfriend by reading someone's mail.
Second in the storytelling chair is comic actress Jessica Hynes, who is much better at sinister. Written by Holly Walsh, it's about a woman who wakes up hung-over to find her eight-year-old self staring at her from the foot of the bed. This one is more satisfying, although is more likely to give you nightmares than fits of giggles.
