Now watch her offer up a probing examination of the US body politic and a couple of dick jokes in her Edinburgh Fringe Festival solo show, American C*nt.

“Friedman’s comedy combines fine joke-writing with a nose for the faultlines in liberal arguments to which she is herself sympathetic. Hers is an intriguing voice; it could yet be an essential one.” - The Guardian
