"Sybil (Karen Hamilton) wants to know why we have not been seated yet ... And then she laughs. The most Sybil-sounding laugh I've ever heard from anyone other than Prunella Scales." Eva Sless, What's On Comedy (Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2013)
"Karen Hamilton has Sybil Fawlty's snorting laugh and squealing 'Basil!' down to a tee and looks for all the world like Prunella in the flesh." Deborah Stone, Arts Hub (Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2013)
"... but it was Karen Hamilton's perfect incarnation of Sybil that stole the show, with that impeccable shrill laugh. She showed quick wit with the hecklers too: "You're a natural blonde, aren't you?"" David Owens, South Wales Echo (Wales Millenium Centre 2012) |
