 JAN MAREE: EAT ME! at Sandwiches reviewed by Priyanka Bhonsule (Hutt News) 7 May 2010 |
|
Family, food and love: both funny and moving It is no easy task to cook, talk and be funny but Jan Maree manages to do all three for two very entertaining hours.* Eat Me is the second part of the series Maree started in 2007 where she uses her life experiences, family recipes and stories to create a relatively “out there” concept of cookery and comedy.

 JAN MAREE: HAIRY TODAY, GONE TOMORROW! at Fringe Bar, Cnr Cuba & Vivian reviewed by John Smythe 2 May 2012 |
|
'Lost and Found' odyssey of self-discovery amuses and moves I do like stand-up that pursues a purpose beyond just being funny because the comedy invariably works better when it bounces off some other objective. In Jan Maree's case – and she is a 'case' – it’s a search for her roots that drives the narrative. The classic who am I? / where do I belong? / identity crisis syndrome is no less compelling for being as old as humanity itself when a consummate storyteller makes it personal, true and entertaining, which she certainly does.

 JANEY GODLEY IN DOMESTIC GODLEY at San Francisco Bathhouse, 171 Cuba St reviewed by Simon Sweetman (The Dominion Post) 7 May 2009 |
|
Must-see comedian funny, naturally #1 Godley’s anecdotes from her own life are refreshing, particularly when so many female comedians seem determined to outdo the men with foul language and references to genitals; a sort of desperate one-upmanship. Godley of course will go to crass places, but it’s funny – and real. [more] |

JANEY GODLEY IN DOMESTIC GODLEY at San Francisco Bathhouse, 171 Cuba St reviewed by Sally Richards 6 May 2009 |
|
Familiar, funny and real This is Godley’s fourth visit to our shores and it is evident in her warmth, familiarity and in her references to local culture. She gleefully observes how ironic it is that our most infamous homeless person is naked. [more] |

|
Mirth in murky depths She’s tough, coarse, and rude - but fair, and damn funny. Scotland’s Janey Godley is a survivor, with a twinkle in her eye and wit to match. [more] |
