I enjoyed that. It's true women are comparatively rubbish at stand up, but there are exceptions. Would like to hear more from this lady. She was warming up nicely.

[@rosstituteuk]

agreed

[@robg1151]

Yeah it was decent and she held her confidence in front of an audience so fair play to her. Hope she develops more with time. It’s not like every good male comedian was instantly good the first time, everyone has to develop their craft. Unfortunately there is the kind of guy that will see this video and moan she isn’t the level of Sean Lock etc and therefore ‘women ain’t funny’ to them.

[@vitalitybristol8982]

Promising stuff Cressida, looking forward to more material

[@Duffloop]

Only ever seen her on Headliners - wondered what her show was like - hah she's bloody good! 😄

[@thedave7760]

Great laughs delivered too abruptly, she needs to let some things hang and give people the opportunity to laugh. Great gags.

[@Duffloop]

@@thedave7760 I told a joke once - it's a nerve-racking business 😬

[@presstodelete1165]

My Wife did a Masters on a feminist perspective of birth control in Victorian Britain, she had to ask for a extensions as she got pregnant twice while writing her thesis. She got a destinction and two children out of it.

[@timbeck6726]

Om😂😂❤thank you, and wife and the kidlets ❤

[@donnabarnes540]

Brilliant 🤩

[@raconteurhermit1533]

With critical postcolonial and feminist lens, like Maryam Wasif Khan's reading of book is also a commentary on gender and a British woman's place within the colonial project The female characters coming to the Orient to break free of their social roles in Britain represent the discord between Englishwomen and their social roles at home, and tells the narrative of "pioneering Englishwomen whose emergent feminism found form and voice in the colony".

[@thomaspaaruppedersen6781]

The funniest characterization of the Just Stop Oil protests: "The just look like they're on a shit school trip". They look like loosers because, well...

[@WaaDoku]

The "mimimimimi" part got me good. Brilliant

[@fionahelmer946]

Well done Cressida ...just slow down a bit yung un, and don't listen to the chumps below who are failing to see a beautifully emerging talent xxx

[@onpsxmember]

Indeed. Not turned down to full Ron White slow but a bit would help. The question is if there is more material besides her life.

[@carlhartwell7978]

Yeah, she seemed just a tad nervous. I don't think her delivery was at all bad and the material was very mostly funny, some of it very funny. But like you say she seemed rushed, tense. Obviously that's a 'character/style' that some comics employ, Lee Evans comes to mind. But I don't think that's what she was going for! Maybe she's trying to emulate Sarah Millican?

[@muldwych2029]

Some good material from Cressida in there, but she definitely needs to relax and let both herself and her jokes breathe a bit.

[@carlhartwell7978]

It's obviously a balance, she managed to get a shitload in there for only a ten min set... like you say though, maybe 'cut out some of the fat' and let the meat simmer for a little longer! That takes a shitload of confidence of course.🤷

[@muldwych2029]

Definitely. I've seen her more relaxed on GBNews, including 'Free Speech Nation', which has a studio audience, so it's just a matter of practice.

[@SabastianMoran]

@@muldwych2029 Novemer 6, 2023 - I'm one of the Connecticut Yankees that migrated from New York City back in 1980's. I LOVE GBNews because I'm a real anglophile and a political Independent. I pay for a service that allows me to watch GBNews, BBC News(?) etc. Cressida is great on "Headliners". She had a fun exchange between herself and Louis Shaffer which made me laugh so much I recorded it. Stay strong U.K., LOVE you chaps!!!💖💖😊👍

[@martinlambe1499]

Yes, it's good material and built nicely through the set. Slowing down and letting the audience enjoy the joke would help her.

[@kevinurso1944]

Agreed. Great material

[@boogieboxmusic4331]

Very good, I thought Cressida had some great stuff here., well done , I enjoyed your stuff..

[@barrymarshall]

“Tapas is just Spanish for rip-off”. I’m stealing that one x

[@andrewhayman9160]

She’s fabulous on Headliners 🎉

[@saint3614]

I, too, did Women's Studies at university. Their daily routines, times in which they were alone, lists of fears, etc.

[@marktyler3381]

Oh come on, the way Jo Brand says " fuck Donald Trump" on every show she's been in for the last 7 years is hilarious. Wait for it, wait for it, Hahahaha, she said "fuck Donald Trump!". Hahhahaha

[@marktyler3381]

I wish I'd thought if that

[@andrewjackson8089]

She used to continuously bang on with jokes about periods 🩸 but now she’s past that she’s had to find some equally unfunny material…..

[@cabbage681]

I smiled a few times and at least she wasn't woke.

[@theralphster8492]

Such a generous comment, well done.

[@islaymist8042]

First time seeing Creasida. Great little set, some very material in there. She will only get better.👍

[@HalfManThirdBiscuit]

I have to ask: great little set compared to what other sets?

[@chriswintle664]

Cressida is wicked. Love her on GB News

[@jodea2017]

Tapas Spanish for rip off.. hilarious

[@14percentviking]

I really enjoyed that! She's got a bright future in comedy for sure

[@Thagros]

She’s been hustling for years and it’s coming together. Got to respect putting the time in and doing the grind on the circuit. Be interesting to see how her material continues to be honed.

[@GlobalistGazette]

That were right funny. Nearly fell off the scaffold I did.

[@ChrisHFal]

Could see she was nervous, but some great jokes in there. Slow down a bit and tell fewer jokes so the others have time to land and you've got a great set.

[@GingerJoberton]

Very funny, loved it!

[@pherphuxake]

I always like her when she's on GB News, I hope she does well.

[@timhall7830]

Love Cressida on GB News.This was funny,but she seemed rushed which was a shame.

[@UncleMinecraft]

Look forward to seeing more of her.

[@dickyt1318]

came from GBN Headliners and enjoyed her stand up !

[@SabastianMoran]

November 6, 2023 - . I hope Cressida adds more material to her routine. Cressida is great on "Headliners" on GBNews. She's more relaxed, and the moments that she looks directly into the camera, as if to say... @#$%&, "give me a break" is the gold that her given name means. She had a fun exchange between herself and Louis Shaffer which made me laugh so much I recorded it.

[@MisogynyMan]

What was the last thing she said as she left the stage? Sounded like she was having a stroke. Sweet girl though, somewhat funny. An 8/10 on a female comedian scale.

[@peteconroy1348]

I really like Cressida. Brilliant on GB especially when she gets paired with Lewis 😂😂😂

[@MatthewSmith-cp3hu]

good jokes but she doesn't pause for laughter a bit slower tempo would be better

[@PhD777]

Absolutely brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻

[@tantona9315]

Great Vicky Pollard at the end there!

[@stablefairy9437]

I do like Cressida. she just needs to slow down a bit and relax. her shoulders looked tense.

[@mooski-mooski]

Very good. Well done. HUGE potential. I used to live in Southmead and she is by far the funniest thing to come out of there!

[@keithc9461]

This set what so slick, brill comedian 😂😂, defo looking out for Cressida 👍

[@TessaTickle]

That was actually funny.

[@jackbeaney9215]

Very good. And I am not being a patronising misogynistic twat. I laughed at the Anthony fauci line, because I am allowed to , because I am not in public; til now... Good work Cresida...

[@ArthurDaley1]

Keep at it, confidence is key!

[@carlhartwell7978]

Some pretty funny material in there delivered very well. I think I could detect some nerves in her voice at points, would have been funnier without that I think. Keep it up Cressida.👍

[@dillipphunbar7924]

Very good. Proper job ...get ye janner

[@chrismoff17]

Haven't seen her before - good stuff.

[@niri2506]

"Tapas that's just Spanish for ripoff" 100% accurate. Done that bs once. Wtf. You pay a ridiculous amount of money for a couple of snacks most of which don't even taste well. Never again😂

[@michaelengland7228]

She had some really good material. I laughed outloud lots.

[@AH-gk6qs]

Great material

[@HalfManThirdBiscuit]

I stopped after 1:58. Any advances?

[@piplee1439]

Not bad at all…… the feminist bit won me over.

[@VestinVestin]

I hate saying anything negative about her, since she's awesome, but she was too nervous in her delivery and her material was a bit too filled with pandering.

[@simonwilton3546]

Wow! This comment section seems full of dis-gruntled ex-boyfriends.

She was seriously nervous and sadly not funny.

[@Electriclentilman]

I like Cressida .. but she’s not really funny. Why does everyone think they are a stand up ? Very rarely are women funny , and sadly Cressida proves it .

[@mielerodriguez5678]

No i liked the observations about her dad.

[@KasherTigerFace]

Is this supposed to be comedy? Where was the joke?

[@KasherTigerFace]

The joke is on us. R.I.P. Patrice O'neal, Norm, and real comedians.

Well... maybe someday a transcomedian is....

[@piplee1439]

They’re nice to cuddle though

[@TheLeights92]

Because you don’t find them funny means they’re not funny lol. Loads of women are funny. There are some stereotypes of things men like to laugh at vs women etc but it’s annoyed we can’t just respect each others differences and have to attack each other it’s depressing as fuck.

[@adriangrant2709]

By stating "literally zero women are funny" - This statement makes sense! If you're saying no women are funny, well your opinion I suppose. Many aren't funny to some; especially on stand up but plenty of funny / clever women out there!
