More Pippa Evans videos

Pippa Evans studied drama and theatre arts at Birmingham university, before turning to stand-up and improv. She was chosen by the Pleasance Edinburgh to perform in The 2006 Comedy Reserve, was runner-up in the 2008 Hackney Empire new act final, and a finalist in Funny Women the same year. She has been a regular improv performer with Improvedy and The Scratch Players.

She made her Edinburgh debut in 2008 with Pippa Evans And Other Lonely People, which was nominated for the if.comedy best newcomer prize.

We saw her do a set at the 99 club in Islington and thought she was excellent – really loved her songs - they were hilarious – completely fooled everyone that she was an American! Following week heard her on ‘4 stands up’ on Radio Four! Again really good.

Dreadful; her "Loretta Maine" character simply isn't good enough to be heard in public - dreadfully unfunny and poorly written songs, duff guitar playing, and this has all been done before and so much better. One of those people who became a comic because it was what they were least bad at. Avoid.

I have seen Pippa Evans twice now and both times she has been brilliant. The first time was at the Proud gallery where she more than held her own amongst the likes of Daniel Kitson and Tim Minchin. I also went to see her at the Soho theatre doing her Edinburgh show. Again she was fantastic - totally brought the house down and the audience loved it. Brilliant stuff!!

Awkward, self conscious and distinctly unfunny. Don't know if i saw her on a particularly dire night, but was embarrassed by how badly she was received.

Breathtakingly talented. I foresee no obstacles to reaching the very top.
