The Daily Telegraph
‘Martinez always manages to deliver more than she promises…….which is, perhaps, why she’s well worth stalking.’
Herald Sun (Australia)
‘Martinez’s stage performances look deceptively simple: but this is a contrivance that allows Martinez to undertake highly complex investigations into reality and fiction, autobiography and lies, and the nature of identity itself, her own most of all.’
The Guardian
‘…a writer and performance artist whose cabaret turns in venues throughout Britain have earned her a cult following.
The Independent On Sunday
Ursula Martinez is a truly clever comic and an outstanding performer.
Australian Stage
‘Tough and vulnerable, adventurous and foolhardy….Martinez treads where few performers dare to go.’
Sydney Morning Herald
‘Martinez just can’t help leaving her audience with big, nervous smiles.’
