“From Stratford – and not the one that’s upon Avon – it’s perhaps inevitable that Andi Osho brings up the well-worn subject of chavs. But at least she manages to find original material in it.

However, her acutely observed set is based mainly on her Nigerian background, which does exploit a few stereotypes – of the preponderance of traffic wardens from that nation, for instance – but mainly finds categorising Nigerian women as ‘Bush women’ or ‘princesses’ to be very fertile ground.

The performance is a perfect balance between restraint and confidence, as you might expect from an actress of her experience, and she’s another expert at working the room. There’s more than a touch of Gina Yashere – another comic of Nigerian descent – to her delivery, though the material is more subtle.

She won the Funny Women new act competition in 2007, and when her name was announced a the Comedy Store, the cheer that went up was deafening, proving just how much she can charm her way into the audience’s affections” CHORTLE, 2007
