REVIEW: Amy Annette: Busy Body


Rating: 4 out of 5.

An upbeat, energetic, feel-good show!


Amy Annette returns to Fringe after her critically acclaimed debut in 2024. She brings us a new show about being perceived and the limits of individualism. From observations on the milestones of her thirties to harder hitting topics such body image, Amy tells her anecdotes with a warmth and charm that have the audience hooked from start to finish.

Amy is bringing her true energetic spirit to this show while she regales us with her hot takes on everything from the year 1942 to Labubus. It felt easy to engage with her material and her relatable anecdotes appealed to a wide range of people in the audience. Her crowd work was effortless, and she maintained a consistently high level of energy throughout the show.

Even when non-Brits in the audience struggled with some of the British-isms that are inherent to UK culture, she just made her explanation into another quick off-the-cuff joke. She had excellent comic timing and a great understanding of the room.

Amy’s upbeat and positive voice makes it impossible to leave the gig without a smile on your face. I can honestly say I felt genuine belly laughs through this performance and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun and dynamic way to spend an afternoon.

Amy Annette: Busy Body is on at Edinburgh Fringe until 24th August at the Baby Grand, Pleasance Courtyard. Buy your tickets here: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/amy-annette-busy-body
