Review: AMY GLEDHILL: MAKE ME LOOK FIT ON THE POSTER, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - January 29, 2025
Amy Gledhill: Make Me Look Fit on the Poster begins with Gledhill posing a question to the audience - “Would you like to go to bed with me?” It’s a fun way to start a show, encouraging the audience to react, but Gledhill takes it a step further by completely redoing the beginning and handing out knickers for audience members to throw at her while cheering even more loudly than before. At this moment, as knickers are flying from the seats to the stage, the audience are charmed by Gledhill, and it certainly won’t be the last time.
