"Deadpan joy" - James Walsh, The Morning Star
"an impressive arsenal of cool, sardonic stand-up" - Chortle
"Tiny, no-nonsense, and approximately 50 per cent spectacles, Shalaka Kurup is deadpan joy"
Morning Star (James Walsh)
"...while she presents herself as well-mannered and strait-laced - a doctor by day - her material has a more bite and naughtiness. A well-constructed set and air of easy professionalism appeal"
Chortle (Steve Bennett)
"An impressive arsenal of cool, sardonic stand-up...aloof, well-spoken delivery...she has an ear for a good punchline and can subvert racial stereotypes with the best of them"
Chortle (Steve Bennett)
"(a) sardonic and savvy set...a very appealing comic package"
