OUTSTANDING ENGLISH COMEDY
-JUST FOR LAUGHS
“Piccinin is a masterful comic with a keen sense of timing and joke structure. Within moments, she commands the audience, and we’re happy to follow wherever she’d like to go.”
— Aisling Murphy, Toronto Star
“Honest is an understatement.
In less than an hour, Laura Piccinin takes audiences on a slightly confusing, consistently hilarious, and often poignant journey of self-discovery. In a word: relatable”.
— Jessica Watson, Intermission Magazine
“Laura has an effortless way of telling her stories that makes you feel like you’re a confidant to her most harrowing tales. In that liveliness is a wit and charm that had me laughing from start to finish.”
— Janine Marley, A View From the Box
“Laura Piccinin is irresistible.
Laura’s blunt honesty marries with her winking charm to present complicated material in an utterly accessible way.
If stand-up’s your jam, don’t miss this one.”
— Kelly Bedard, My Entertainment World
“Part stand-up, part personal storytelling, Piccinin stands behind a mic and tells us her coming out stories (yes, there’s more than one). Sharply observed, tightly delivered—and finding laughter in the pain—for an entertaining and insightful, out and proud ride.”
— Cate McKim, Life with More Cowbell
“Her wry, ironic delivery coupled with moments of expressive physicality get big, satisfying laughs from the audience along with enthusiastic whoops and cheers.”
— Stanford Reynolds, Eye on Wellington
“Some of Piccinin’s jokes were so gut-bustingly clever, it made it all the more impressive when she mixed in some very prescient social commentary about identity and self-love.
Piccinin’s comedy is some of the most genuine humour you’re ever going to experience — and that’s something you don’t see on every stage.”
— Matt Olsen, PodSask
“Delivered with a dry sense of humour, Piccinin has the rhythms and cadence of a joke nailed down to a tee.”
— Chris Middleton, Patron & Pearl
“Laura Piccinin is incredibly honest, vulnerable and, of course,
outrageously funny.
“Lesbihonest” is perfect for fans of Hannah Gadsby’s powerful storytelling or Maria Bamford’s eclectic impressions and voice acting, but Laura is an original comedian with a unique voice.”
