“No doubt, she is a rising star in the comedy world” - North West End 

“Absurdly entertaining. Phenomenal character work. She is an excellent stand up” - Entertainment Now

"Kirsty had the audience in the palm of her hand… naturally hilarious” - Voice Magazine 

“An impeccable hour of storytelling. She has her audience riveted from the start” - Perth Arts Live

“A smart character comic… grabs the gig by the funny bits” The Scotsman

“Kirsty’s comedic timing is excellent, with the poise of a seasoned performer. Her character comedy is an artefact for the archaeologists of the future" - Magazine 6000

In a few short yet quite magnificent sentences, Mann takes the audience back to the worst of the pandemic. The sheer confidence to bring this awful global lived experience into a comedy. The utter talent to pull it off. A show to laugh with in the moment, a performance with depths to ponder over later, and a performer to watch in the future” - Fringefeed
