Suzannah Butcher is a gem with grit...a whip-smart, wide-eyed truth-teller with a mischievous glint and a dangerously good sense of timing. She doesn't just perform. She confessed. Loudly. Hilariously. And without a filter in sight. I'll never think her husband's penis in the same way.... full review

From the moment Suz steps on stage, you can’t help but smile—you just know you’re in for a ride. She’s honest, charismatic, and effortlessly hilarious, with impressions so sharp and timing so flawless, you’d think she’s been doing stand-up for decades. Her reflections on motherhood are both heartfelt and hysterical—deeply relatable whether you’re a parent or not. She’s everywhere at once: on the floor, in character, switching voices with ease, and so alive in her storytelling that you forget she’s performing solo. She commands the space with dimension, depth, and pure joy. I absolutely loved the show and feel honored to have witnessed a talent this electric. Can’t wait to see where she goes from here. ... full review
