Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 13th September 2021Review: Olga Koch, Soho Theatre, W1
The audience was thoroughly entertained, there's no absolutely zilch debate about that and I'd happily recommend that you run out and buy a ticket. In fact Koch probably left the audience wanting more. I also wanted more. But specifically more about Koch's unique perspective on the UK. If she wanted that odious black non-EU passport so much there must surely be an entire one hour show in there itching to get out.
