Praise
"10 up-and-coming stand-ups to see at the Fringe" The National Student, 2019.
The sketchy, multi-media 2018 Edfringe show "20 Uses for Lovedoll", which was developed through the Soho Theatre SYC Edinburgh Lab, was described as a show "like no other" (Daily Info) and given ✭✭✭✭ by Funny Women who said Maddie was a "very inventive and dry writer", but most importantly, her parents liked it. It was not a sex show, despite what many, many people assumed. She is more cautious about what I call my shows in the future.
