Susan Murray is delightful from start to finish in this well-thought out hour taking on the topic of accents: their evolution; their assumptions; their sheer hilarity. Though it is initially slightly tiresome that Murray laughs a tad to much at her own jokes, it soon becomes unavoidably infectious.

Not only is the material uniquely witty and insightful, but Murray’s delivery is infallibly on the pulse. Sensing when a joke isn't well received, Murray skilfully swings in another direction, or throws an alternative punchline, keeping the audience enrapt and engaged throughout.
