In her first ever debut stand up show, Alice Snedden's dry humour delivers a slow but steady stream of laughs.
A Snort stalwart, Snedden's years of improv prepare her well for off the cuff - or possibly convincingly-casual rehearsed lines - quips depending on how the audience takes a joke.
One of the biggest laughs was her faux-scolding of the audience giggling over a description of putting on her "nip covs" (nipple covers) while going braless to a wedding. "Can we all just be adults about this please?".
When performing with Snort, Snedden's more reserved style of humour created a great foil for the mad energy of the improv group. I sometimes wished there was a bit more of that energy in her show.
Snedden is best when she is exploring the oddities of her childhood: her weird mum, the Outward bound experience she refused to learn anything from, her self consciousness over lopsided breasts as a teenager.
