CHORTLE
Embodies the spirit of alternative cabaret from the days when the weird and the wonderful dominated the nascent, pre-commercial circuit...Few can resist such bestial power, and the force of her personality gets the crowd involved in some hilariously spirited shenanigans.
THE WEE REVIEW
https://theweereview.com/review/tina-turner-tea-lady-and-friends/
★★★★★
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.
THE GAY UK
★★★★★
Tracey'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
★★★★½
Listen up BBC, Tracey Collins deserves a chat show a la Mrs Merton. Make it happen!
Collins conjures the spirits of the greats, from a doe-eyed, disastrous Audrey Heartburn (read: Hepburn), to a soft-spoken plain Jane, Ed Cheerup (read: Sheeran), and Hilary Devey-style whip-snapping, smart-talking character Fanny Legup.
In 12 words: A glorious hour of unabashed laughs from the queen of character comedy.
WEST END WILMA
★★★★
Tracey Collins is a natural born comedian! Already an established character act as Tina T’urner Tea Lady (a homage to a Tina Turner obsessed fan who runs a tea shop), Tracey Collins now brings three new characters to life in this show, alongside the much loved character we all know.
