Shappi Khorsandi created a warm and entertaining show at Brighton Dome’s Corn Exchange telling stories of single motherhood and getting things wrong when you’re firmly in the public eye.

Her style was confident, with just enough self-deprecation to charm the audience. Her eight-year-old son and 14-month-old daughter provided much of the comedy as we heard about their experiences of the world.

Khorsandi is a great comic who hides her devices cleverly from the audience, mixing them in with her persona and proving that she is a gifted storyteller.

She put the audience totally at ease and each reincorporation of material felt natural – something which is difficult to achieve.

Her dissection of the tendency of joke-making to end up offending one or many sections of society was a neat observation of the moment the words fall from your mouth and you realise the offence they could cause.

In terms of content – a step away from herself and her family would help her material feel less self-absorbed and pull us into the show more completely.

Overall she’s a skilled comedian who relished her time onstage and provided an entertaining show full of laughs.
