"All killer, no filler."
Matt Rees
"A very promising act who would do well on most bills.
From the night:
I’d only seen ADCM the once before and had been very impressed by what I’d seen and I felt that tonight she was here less to win, but more as a pleasant car share for Abi and to be seen again by Mike. What she presented on stage was basically a textbook example of how to do comedy well. Her delivery was polished and easy to follow. Her material was well thought out, hung together well and above all was funny. ADCM was one of the more immediately bookable acts of the show and the runner up of the night. There’s gold here."
