Review by Steve Bennett

Though a relative newcomer, well-spoken Catherine Semark has understated elegance and quiet confidence, that draws the audience in – even though her routine is based entirely on her response to the T-shirt boasting ‘Well, it won’t such itself’.

Sarah Millican’s previously used the lewd slogan as a punchline, but Semark manages not only to find her own track, but also makes a silk purse out of this sow’s purse of an idea, cuttingly mocking the idiot she saw wearing it, and extending this simple observation into a surprisingly classy routine. Semark has yet to fully develop as a comedian, but she shows promising signs of being able to do so
