Pure genius. - The Scotsman
Illuminating. She simply lit up the stage. - The Advertiser.

Pure genius. - The Scotsman
Bodossian's trippy, dippy beat poetry - brilliantly underscored by musician Paul Buckley on haunting clarinet, piano, guitar and foot percussion - is a constantly surprising delight. She seamlessly segues into a smokey torch singer, straddling the lines between satire and serious art, sweetness and obscenity, sexiness and gawkiness.

'She is often confronting, sometimes poignant, occasionally erotic, whilst empowering the women in the audience and illuminating the men.' - Glam Adelaide
Physical, ironic, funny. Entrancing. The poem about childhood, would speak straight to that inner child that resides in the soul of any person who grew up in Australia., (and) the original song about her childhood toy Clowny was utterly beautiful and heart wrenching. - Stage Whispers
Her swinging singing displays formidable range and character.
- The Sunday Mail
- The Sunday Mail
'a sexy and witty cabaret mixed with inspired spoken word gems. 4/5.'- Fringebiscuit
She is perfectly imperfect - managing to be daggy and sensual and sexy all at the same time. And she's unashamedly female. Her curls as wild as her observations on life.
