Bridget Christie: Jacket Potato Pizza
Inner peace and contentment are not always gifts to the comedian, and perhaps that's why Bridget Christie's latest show is a teensy bit less thrilling than its predecessors. For Christie has found her happy place: serenely single, professionally triumphant (on the telly too, after years not finding a niche there), and absolved by menopause of the need to give a toss about almost anything. There's comedy in that freedom from care, and Christie mines it plentifully in an entertaining 90 minutes that majors - like her Channel 4 show The Change - in what life looks like for women (or, at least, this woman) when oestrogen gets out of the way.
