REVIEWS


2019
Edinburgh Festivals Magazine’s recommended cabaret.

2017

★★★★★


EDINBURGH FESTIVALS MAGAZINE
“A cacophony of rampant filth and backyard decadence, Pollyanna is the only queer collective you want to see this Fringe.“
“It is seldom you find a queer cabaret that truly delivers in all regards, but the diversity Pollyanna celebrates secures its place at the top of the list.“

★★★★
