Amy Gledhill at Soho Theatre review: this knockout show deserves every plaudit it receives

Some things are definitely better the second time around. I first saw Amy Gledhill's Make Me Look Fit On The Poster at the Edinburgh Fringe last summer. It was certainly enjoyable, but I was still surprised when she won the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show. After revisiting I can see why it bagged that accolade. It deserves every plaudit it receives.

Gledhill's barnstorming set is a veritable comedy Trojan Horse. The versatile performer – who is also half of sketch duo The Delightful Sausage, though that Sausage might have to go on the back burner given her solo success – delivers a heartfelt exploration of self-perception cloaked in a series of stand-out belly laugh routines.
