Quotes
“Angie Belcher is just as suited for a comedy night as she is for a poetry event; from the moment Angie takes to the stage every line she delivers is crude, funny and instantly relatable and quite simply fun to watch. She is charming, silly and makes honest and awkward observation. At every point during her set you’re either laughing or catching your breath in preparation for the next fit of giggles.” Tara Pilkington, Apples and Snakes 2015
“The perfect start to the festival...sharp, observational material I could relate to” North East Theatre Guide
