Make Me Look Fit on the Poster is ostensibly about the two embarrassing memories that keep Amy Gledhill awake at night. But in reality, these are just two of many seamlessly interwoven anecdotes exploring Gledhill’s chosen theme of self-esteem. 

Self-esteem is different from confidence, Gledhill assures the audience early in her show. And it's a good thing she does, because the performer we are watching does not suffer from lack of confidence – and neither should she. Gledhill’s acting is brilliant.  From the vh-vhh of a vibrating iPhone to dangling by a bungee in a high-ropes course, Gledhill’s impressive vocal imitations and astonishing physical comedy imbues her stand-up with an uncommon liveliness.

On the back of her Edinburgh Comedy Award win, Gledhill has brought a captivating and visceral show to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
