13. Amy Gledhill: The Girl Before The Girl You Marry
"Amy Gledhill of The Delightful Sausage double act has contrived a candid but upbeat debut solo show, silly in execution yet mature in the hard-won lessons she’s learned." Jay Richardson on Amy Gledhill: The Girl Before The Girl You Marry (Monkey Barrel Comedy (Carnivore 2) (Venue 180), until 28 August). Photo: Contributed
14. Chelsea Birkby: No More Mr Nice Chelsea
"Despite the complete command Birkby has of her tale, hanging very funny observational material on pop culture, fast fashion and a brilliant bit on the weird popularity of murder mystery entertainment off her autobiography, No More Mr Nice Chelsea goes to some pretty dark places" Jay Richardson on Chelsea Birkby: No More Mr Nice Chelsea (Just the Tonic at The Caves, until 28 August).

15. Pam Ford: 24 and Counting!
"There are so many layers to this sweet’n’sour Pavlova of a show, and each one is moreish." Kate Copstick on Pam Ford: 24 and Counting! (Laughing Horse @ City Café, until 28 August) Photo: Contributed
16. Mary Beth Barone: Silly Little Girl
"Cold-eyed, unsmiling and deadpan to the point of emotional blankness – the Stepford Wives allusion of her publicity images are well-earned with references to ex-best friends piling up like cadavers – this American is a detached, ironic narrator of her eccentric adolescence." Jay Richardson on Mary Beth Barone: Silly Little Girl (Pleasance Courtyard (Upstairs) (Venue 33), until 28 August). Photo: Contributed
