Comedy review: Mandy Muden: Is Not The Invisible Woman, Underbelly - Cowgate, Edinburgh

Comedy review: Mandy Muden: Is Not The Invisible Woman, Underbelly - Cowgate, Edinburgh * * *

To be fair, she has had, over a lengthy career, much less visibility than she deserves. She is a force for happiness in the world, warm, down to earth, and wonderfully funny in her own way.

Yes, she does magic … cards, wineglasses, mentalism and the old metal rings all get a shot in the show. Even this close up, rummaging for props in a bag and a bit pushed for space, she manages to elicit gasps from the crowd.

There is no one else like her in magic. I don’t think there ever will be.
