“engaging and funny” (Three Weeks)
"Maureen Younger is a new version of the bawdy female stand up, very funny and delightfully engaging; she has a full-on approach that opens up her humour to the whole house."
(Barbican Website)
”One of the most naturally talented comedians I have worked with, brilliant timing, warm and funny”. (Sally Holloway)
“Maureen Younger is more than compere, more than host, with a natural gift of the gab she’s quick off the mark and doesn’t miss a trick”! (Lenna, www.gingerbeer.co.uk)
“very entertaining… SO funny!” (Amused Moose Soho)
"brilliantly fast-paced .... she is a real hit" (www.spoonfed.co.uk)
"On a strong recommendation from another promoter I booked Maureen unseen to headline my Retort Cabaret show. She didn't let me down, and a previously cool audience immediately warmed to her conversational style. One of the other acts booked her after the show to compere their gig the following week and I too have re-booked her to compere another show in the autumn. I've since seen her at a much larger gig at Birmingham Glee Club and she was equally funny and comfortable on a big stage." (Brett Rehling, Retort Cabaret Show, Birmingham)
"A week of roaming about the Festival.. but aside from the big names, there's a lot of talent out there. One comedienne in particular has stood head and shoulders talent-wise above the others again and again: Maureen Younger, with her peach of a delivery...” (MGCK)
“Maureen Younger….a comic insight that can open up a need to laugh out loud, even if you didn’t want to...” (Roland Muldoon, Hackney Empire NATY Competition)
“The sharp Maureen Younger's style, meanwhile, works perfectly for this audience – there's maximum interaction, minimum long-winded gags, and her set cracks along with a nice rhythm as a result. Her decision to give as many jibes back to the audience as they dish out is also a good one, and has everyone laughing at everyone else's expense, from the posh man in the front row who “has to ask his friend what the Tube is” to yours truly, who Younger decides must enjoy night buses as “you get the chance to meet lots of drunk idiots, so lots of other Australians.” (Sarah Kendell, www.spoonfed.co.uk)
"Fast feisty & more than a little dangerous she has a set packed with great one liners yet perhaps her greatest strength is ad-libbing with an audience.” (Jack Milner one of UK's top comedy coaches)
“Maureen Younger makes comedy look effortless, not an easy task, she is rare in this world of overpowering male stand ups; a naturally funny post pc feminist with a unique sense of personal observational humour. She is immediate & down to earth; a Ms funny brains”. (Claire Muldoon, Hackney Empire NATY Competition)
“I felt like I'd learnt something as well as being entertained by comedians Paul MacCaffrey, Gavin Hammer and especially Maureen Younger." (Alexis Wood - BBC Southern Counties Website)
”Maureen launched into a polished set, which featured gags about being chatted up on the London Underground, looking pregnant and dating men much younger than her. It was a strong performance and she engaged well with the responsive audience”. (Funny Women Awards Showcase Review, Inside Comedy, Konrad Obiora)
“Younger’s fabulous act ….alone makes this (Pretty Dirty Things) a worthwhile stop for that all-important first week nightcap.” (Richard Cray)
“Maureen is every compere's dream! She handles her material with such ease, the audience go wherever she leads. An absolute joy. We can't wait to have her back to Laughing At Something Serious!” (Laughing at Something Serious)
“The one thing she is? Damned funny that’s what. Maureen is a top act, the speed and energy of her delivery grabs the audience and just keeps on relentlessly building the laughs. You’d be a fool not to book her, do it now!” (Stuart Morrison, The Gag Factory)
"Comic Irrigation Edinburgh, Maureen Younger is superb. In front of a packed crowd her frank humour, sharp delivery and personable stage presence made her a winning performer at Comic Irrigation during this year’s Edinburgh Comedy Festival. She is a “must see” on the comedy circuit!" (Wanda Keenan, Comic Irrigation)
”Maureen Younger, whose sure fire delivery hits the mark every time.” (SLICC)
“Maureen Younger makes you cry with laughter! A wonderful, beautiful, talented spirit”. (Nirjay Mahindru, Producer The Long & The Short of It)
“We all went off to the Studio Theater, a small auditorium. Another young woman, Maureen Younger, who moved quickly and authoritatively around the stage began to organize a sort of playlet. By the end of our half hour, Maureen had assembled a cast, provided an instant plot, directed elementary stage movement, and given the students the chance to perform a boisterously melodramatic scene inspired by their flamboyant costumes. James and I were part of their small and appreciative audience.” (Susan Allen Toth – The New York Times)
“Maureen Younger, New Act of The Year contestant whose sharp self effacing humour brings interesting new perspectives to the stage” (Hackney Empire)
