Critics Review
“Throbs with a concentrated, combustible vitality… Fleabag keeps all contradictory shards and shades of feeling in play at the same time. That’s why it’s so gloriously disruptive.”
A legitimately hilarious show.– “The New Yorker” Filthily funny… the character is a fascinatingly complex creation.– “The Guardian” Filthy, funny, snarky and touching.– “Telegraph” Frank and sometimes brutally funny… devastatingly good.– “The Times” Funny, vibrant, and blunt as a hammerhead.– “New York Magazine” It has the pinpoint observational comedy of great standup, the fearless honesty and shamelessness of a raw confession and the subtlety to draw you in… both gut-bustingly funny and gut-wrenchingly sad.– “The Hollywood Reporter” Never has being a modern woman seemed so painfully funny, brutal, and hopeless all at once.– “The Atlantic” Penetrating, pitch-black and nastily brilliant.– “Metro” Sucker-punch funny… I’ve never seen a play quite like it.– “Scotsman” Throbs with a concentrated, combustible vitality… Fleabag keeps all contradictory shards and shades of feeling in play at the same time. That’s why it’s so gloriously disruptive.– “New York Times” Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s one-woman show Fleabag is unbelievably rude, astoundingly filthy and she’s almost certainly going to go to hell for it.– “Time Out”
