Thick Skin is about as assured a Fringe debut as you could hope for. Amy Annette’s been on the comedy scene for some time as a podcaster, producer and writer, but for a first full-length show, this is cracking stuff. A teen during the early 2000s, Thick Skin is dedicated to fellow millennials, and she joyously dissects the extraordinary things that young women had to deal with just two short decades ago. She describes herself as ‘a big gal’ and rails against Kate Moss’ infamous quote that ‘nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’ (a statement the model has since said she regrets).

Annette works with the crowd to examine female interpersonal relationships and she’s adept at spotting suitable candidates for rapport. ‘The laughter of trauma’, she repeatedly winks at a woman with whom she appears to be entirely simpatico. If you remember reading More! magazine, with its Position Of The Fortnight, then this show was written for you. But, in an increasingly misogynistic world, its feminist viewpoint feels more and more relevant. A sparkling presence on stage, and with a delightfully expressive physicality through which she brings stories to life, Annette is a bright new addition to the stand-up scene.
