Comedy

Equipped with a ukulele and buckets of offbeat charm, the enigmatic Lady Carol wants to give us a lesson in womanhood.
 
She’s certainly ladylike, elegantly perched on a stool in a black fishtail dress, but there’s much more to this songstress than meets the eye.
 
A blonde siren, she is delightfully unassuming and addresses the audience like a long-lost confidante. But like a siren, her call has dark undertones. Tales of Facebook stalking and wanting to be a witch, reveal the mischievous streak beneath her charming comic ramblings. She creates an atmosphere of exposed intimacy; delicate, understated and faintly bewitching.
 
And then she sings. It’s like having your hot milk laced with a shot of brandy. The raw magnetism of her voice engulfs the Pleasance Over The Road room, as she mixes interpretations of the likes of Radiohead, Queen and Kings of Leon with her own material.
 
Her vocals add a powerful intensity to her quirky persona, in a contrast that is utterly intoxicating.

Lady Carol: Tomorrow is My Turn is at Pleasance Courtyard until 31 August (not 24), 20:15.
