Wendy Wason - Other People's Secrets

Wendy Wason is instantly likeable, and in that feline way of hers makes her audience so comfortable they don't even mind being picked on; she is soft and sophisticated, but with claws. The routine for this year's Fringe is based on divulging secrets—her own, her mother's, those of celebrities and whoever was daft enough to post theirs on the internet—and Wason is most delicious when she's at her most scathing and her victims (the usual suspects: men, The Sun, Cheryl Cole) most deserving. Only when she ad libs does she lose a little of that flirtatious savvy that she otherwise works so well.
