“This show was a hoot from start to finish; the sell out audience were kept laughing all the way through” – 5 stars, One4review

 “The show is rich in charisma and wit. In a landscape filled with trauma informed storytellers, absurdism and anti comedy, it’s rewarding to see a young woman get up onstage and simply make us laugh with sharp takes on bingo, hangovers and the long mega bus to London.” – 4 stars, Fest Magazine

“Last orders is an impressive debut show, with Jackson showing that she has what it takes to entertain a large audience with not only jokes but also strong vocal impressions and an impressive stage presence.” – 4 stars, The Wee Review

“One of the freshest and most exciting comic voices to emerge this year. She slips between voices and accents with such ease that comparisons to a Scottish Jodie Comer don’t feel exaggerated.” – 4 stars, The Nerd Party
