Rosie Wilby : I am Nessa 

Rosie Wilby‘s show is educomedy. She is dressed in a lab coat with a bikini underneath. Tantalisingly, the lab coat is never removed. Using a range of visual aids, drawings, photographs and a tiny child’s toy model of the human brain, she gives a very accurate presentation of the brain’s memory function. She plays with technical terms like ‘episodic memory’.

It sounds like a school science lesson but a funny one with lots of throwaway one liners and references to memories of sexual partners, mainly female. Her manner is jolly and irrepressible. Her patter is delivered in a clear, rather upper class accent. All this contrasts with her randy persona – a blend that works wonderfully well.

Her performance is enjoyable if somewhat short.
