Lizzie Roper works wonders in her solo show. Here’s a comic who can turn in excellent character work \u0096 her old woman with a zimmer frame is possibly the best of a remarkably varied bunch. In stark contrast there\u0092s Roper\u0092s feistiness when she\u0092s in stand up mode, a cheery sexual predator with a lustful, life affirming message for us all.

LIZZIE ROPER is very funny. She\u0092s also very talented. On top of that she\u0092s a bag of energy\u0085 Throughout this often hysterical, sophisticated, too-short show, Roper introduces the audience to her take on the Bermuda triangle, Marty Feldman and – a big crowd-pleaser, this – Sindy doll clothes\u0085 Lizzie Roper, has the knack of bringing out the naughtiness in people\u0085You\u0092ll never forgive yourself if you don\u0092t see her here, because a lot of this show won\u0092t make it to the telly, which is where she\u0092ll be next if there\u0092s any justice.

Lizzie Roper is a filthy, mouthy, extravagant flirt; and if she doesn’t land a saucy sexpot role in the new Carry On revival, it’ll be a travesty\u0085Unabashedly frank, often dirty, and always entertaining, it’s a rollercoaster ride, powered by Roper’s inexhaustible energy\u0085 Who is she? An unexpected hidden highlight of the festival, that’s who.

A woman with a fetish for being loud and distracting will take you on a journey exploring all areas of female sexuality from puberty to post-menopause, with great character acting in between. 35 and still an over grown teenager, Lizzie Roper is desperate and, will throw herself at almost any man in the audience. Embarrassing but funny, in a cute kind of way. Her show was filthy, her humour crude, and her over-the-top portrayal of a sex mad minx was witty, octane fuelled and close to genius.
\nSK Three Weeks [four stars]<\/b><\/p>\n

Lizzie Roper bursts on the stage like a crazy woman, screwing up her face and making a lunge for a 20-year-old man in the front row. Her mad girl persona \u0096 if it is indeed just a persona \u0096 is as frightening as it is compelling. You could imagine her doing almost anything, whether or not it was likely to get a laugh. She is tremendously emotive, contorting her facial features into the ugliest conceivable shapes. The members of audience \u0096 once they had got used to being bellowed at \u0096 loved it…Roper has found something really good here. She is a comedienne who is not afraid to reveal the negative side of her gender, portraying women in a manner few would find flattering.
