She is so talented, according to Dawn French, she “must be destroyed”.

But don’t take Dawn’s word for it. Just ask anyone lucky enough to catch the first live show of the award-winning British comedian’s Australian tour last night.

The Tate juggernaut landed in Perth on Saturday evening for the first of two shows at the Riverside Theatre, and what a ride it was.
