"Chelsea is a buoyant force of nature who skips between genres with ease. She commands the room in an open and engaging way with clear experience from years of street performing. She creates a familiarity with the audience to bring them into her world in a natural and fresh way." -Phil Kay
"Chelsea Hart was easily one of the best of the night. An Alaskan, Chelsea had a wonderful energy and enthusiasm... I hope she goes far in comedy." - North West End
