Review by Steve Bennett

When Sarah Ledger opens her set by talking of PMS and smear tests, you can almost hear the audience sign as they're again confronted with those most clichéd of subjects.

Although nothing is ever a no-go area in comedy, you need something new to say if you're going to cover such well-trodden ground, especially when the very topic is a stereotype of bad female comedy.

Sadly, she doesn't. The gynaecological detail is simply meant to get laughs of shock. Which might work, were there anything shocking in hearing the same weak observations for the hundredth time.

It's a shame, because Ledger has a lot to offer. She's spontaneous and a complete natural on stage; just no material to back it up.
