Holly Burn - Living and Dying

Holly Burn, although a rather talented actress, pieces together a painfully dire show, leaving an audience groping for even the briefest moments of enjoyment. She plays a series of bizarre and wholly irritating characters whose kooky doings elicit a raised eyebrow at best. Never quite sure of what she’s satirising, or mocking, or simply attempting to say, she rarely manages to engage with the audience. Inane repetition of largely unfunny material is simply antagonising, and to top it off, her jokes are so unbearably limp that even nervous laughter cannot quell the pervasive awkwardness of it all.
