THE WEE REVIEW
★★★★★
We’ve got a Caroline Aherne on our hands, or a Calf-era Coogan – a dexterous character comic with an eye for the nuances of ordinary folk. The titular soul singer-cum-hot beverage hawker isn’t even the half of this fabulous character cabaret hour by Tracey Collins.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORTLE
The idea is as simple as it is bonkers, but with perhaps a nod to the old BBC Two series Stella Street...
Tracey Collins, the woman behind the caricature, belts out the numbers with the familiar throaty rasp; owning the stage and the audience. Few can resist such bestial power, and the force of her personality gets the crowd involved in some hilariously spirited shenanigans.

THE GAY UK
★★★★★
Tracey Collins’ hilariously off-beat alter-ego is gyrating her way to the top of everyone’s must-see list and it’s easy to see why.
Tina T’urner’s first full-length Edinburgh show is met with some of the most enthusiastic audiences I’ve seen on the Fringe.
Crossing the spectrum from intelligent humour to cheesy cabaret. Stylish and grotesque in equal measure; a satisfyingly side-splitting combination.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO DO LIST
★★★★★
Words can barely describe this surreal yet definitely wonderful experience. Hilarious re-workings of some of Tina’s greatest songs intersperse diary readings, declarations of love, a conga and some astonishing costume changes. You heard it here first – Tina T’urner Tea Lady is a perfect brew!
