“Mathers is like a breath of fresh air ... This is a woman who's still shining, brilliantly in fact... Be sure to join Mathers on this fun journey that takes chaos in its stride with reflections about midlife mayhem... Mathers is very entertaining - her eyes literally shine brightly, her infectious smile is on display, and... a very likeable personality, a brilliant performer/entertainer, Mathers also serves as a beacon of strength with her authentic voice that's genuine, hilarious and entertaining.”- (Weekend Notes)
"Hilarious mix of stand-up comedy, autobiography, and – as it says on the poster – other excellent monologues... .Whether her own words, or others, what shines through is Katrina’s authentic voice. Unique and genuine, hilarious and entertaining.” - Australian Arts Review
"So many heartwarming stories in this show... The monologues are well-written and, as a performer, Katrina Mathers has great comic timing. Her versatility in changing from one character to another is wonderful to watch... ” -(The Scoop)
"Mathers’ words and excellent presentation... are funny, entertaining and relatable... Her excellent acting and comic ability come to the fore... (and) given the laughter of the men in the audience on opening night, it’s not a show just for women.” - (Travels with JB)
"You're still not funny, mum" - (Anonymous, 16 years)
