“Welsh starlet, Anna is the breakthrough act of the moment and highly touted for a successful career in comedy. Comparisons with fellow Welsh comic, Rhod Gilbert don’t end with their accents; Anna’s delightfully grumpy and gruff delivery leaves audiences belly laughing”– Punch Drunk Comedy
“Super refreshing and original in an often comedy sea of beige… one of them with funny bones she is.”– Barking Tales
“She has the appealing air of not quite being of this world. But whatever planet she’s from, they know funny” Chortle.
