Edinburgh Shows
Infectious charm and a razor wit bringing a series of comic characters to vibrant life... it's deeply refreshing to see a comedian who's actually got something to say. ****

Fest
One of the most innovative & relevant acts you'll see this year
The Guardian
Highly talented... utterly charming
Time Out
Hils Barker is one of the best young comedians around – go and see her.
Peter Richardson, The Comic Strip
a must see show ****
One4Review
Worthy of her own TV show
The List
She knows how to write a gag… mocking but affectionate.
Chortle
In The Wrong Place crackles and surges with pixie-ish energy and charming bitterness. Barker's envenomed befuddlement is frequently hilarious… her starry entrance may prove prophetic. * * * *
Metro
Stand-up
Hilarious…star of the night.
The Edinburgh Guide
Wonderful and funny
Time Out
Sharp, fine-tuned material. * * * *
Sunday Herald
Hilarious… Hils Barker is a very gifted comic.
Metro
A cynical intelligence and keen wit at work…definitely one to watch
Chortle
Barker's multi-faceted humour has more teeth than the sweet smile suggests.
The List
Superbly witty… she does not seem afraid to try out new material and stay away from the standard. Hilarious.
