\u201cThere are not many women who can stun an audience into pin-drop silence with an exquisitely delivered torch song one moment and rock the rafters with laughter the next. Meow Meow… is that rare combination – devilish funny bones and heavenly vocal chords…no one now does it better than Meow\u201d
\nEvening Standard, UK<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTo witness the postmodern cabaret diva Meow Meow in concert is to risk emerging just a little bit scratched. No one is safe at her show, least of all the deliciously deranged performer herself\u201d

\u201dMeow Meow blends performance art, cabaret and pop culture into a style that defies labelling. .. \u2026 the hackneyed phrase “cabaret diva” seems pathetically inadequate\u2026\u201d
\nThe Age (Australia)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCabaret was always supposed to be transgressive and subversive, Meow Meow puts the beauty and the beastliness of it back where it belongs, out on the edge and in your face”

\u201cfierce intelligence, genuine heart and a heady recklessness\u201d
\nThe Guardian<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cShe has a voice to break the most unwilling heart and a feeling for words that smashes through cynicism\u201d
\nThe Times, UK<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMesmerising skill\u2026It\u2019s this mix of fearless talent and unstoppable humour that makes Meow Meow a star and leaves you agog\u201d
\nThe Sun Herald<\/em><\/p>\n

“She is a comedian of extraordinary nerve: her act is continually on the verge of collapse, catching itself up at the last possible moment…Meow Meow takes the art of cabaret and splits it open, exposing the disillusioned, yearning heart that beats under the sequins.\u201d
\nThe Australian<\/em><\/p>\n

“Her voice is extraordinary: apt to leap up several octaves at a time, swoop into a guttural growl or a crazed operatic vibrato. And when, on occasion, this dazzlingly multi-talented performer simply stands still and sings, her mood of bittersweet melancholy casts an instant spell of enchantment\u201d
\nThe Age (Australia)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMeow Meow boasts an extraordinary voice that sounds as though Diamanda Gal\u00e1s drowned in cherry liqueur. It was the tatty diva’s pitiless improvisation, however, that made her extraordinary. Her ability to unwind sexual and gender tensions and turn them into a rosette of purest mischief is nonpareil.\u201d
\nThe Age (Australia)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWith Meow Meow, the Bar Jeder Vernunft engaged a Bird of Paradise who brings a new colour to the Berlin stage heavens! Or should one say: brings an old colour back?\u201d
\nBerliner Zeitung<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cShe is extremely funny and that astonishing voice only needs a phrase to break your heart. But there\u2019s a darker edge here, the sequined curtain stretched ever more thinly over the abyss\u201d
\nThe Times, UK<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026an explosive performance energy…(her) physical and vocal performance is acrobatic and virtuosic\u201d

\u201cbrilliant \u2026 blowtorch wit..As with all great comics the sadness haunts the shadows of her anarchy\u2026a bombshell went off in the Spiegeltent\u201d
\nThe Age (Australia)<\/em><\/p>\n

“Two things are instantly clear. Firstly, Meow Meow is right to style herself a \u201cpost-post-modern diva\u201d, given that her singer-cum-comedienne persona is constructed from layers of knowingness, of pastiche that is then pastiched. Secondly, Meow Meow\u2019s A-list fans \u2013 including David Bowie and Mikhail Baryshnikov \u2013 are right to think so highly of her. There is something quite awe-inspiring about her stage presence.”
\nThe Telegraph, UK<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201ca deconstructive tour de force that turns cabaret inside out\u2026 Once heard, the sound of Meow shredding her voice is never forgotten…Meow’s driven, extreme style, underscored by clever stagecraft and a political sensibility, rekindles the genre. Her shows blaze a wild trail\u201d
