What People Say About Sheila-M

By Sue Fraser – Private Party in Northampton – 13th January 2012

“My family loved your show and have said they will be talking about it for a long time. The fact that you took the time to find out about Matt and Hannah and personalized the show was great. Anyway, thank you again for a wonderfull evening.”

By Collin Harris – LouDeemy Variety Night Review – 7th October 2011

“Sheila M (AKA Sister Mary): I’d seen her the month before and this was a completely different set. However it was just as funny – Sister Mary has her own show on Friday at the Pat Kav – looks like it’ll be a cracker. Tonight it started off with Sister Mary’s adult education class. A man was dragged out of the audience whilst we were treated to the proper names and uses of and for women’s breasts, the correct way to leave the toilet seat, and why we were all miserable sinners. Then we were treated to Sister Mary’s version of the song “Sisters are doing it to themselves” – If the Pope ever sees this he might need to rethink the whole celibacy argument. Very funny and the audience really enjoyed it. Another belter from Sister Mary.”

“Sheila M: The stripping nun. Irish, Catholic, and funny as feck. She rocked the room with her “Got to have faith” parody. The vegans at the back were filming her and cheering along. She then did some great observational stuff abut the room and life and men and religion – she also did some brand new bits – again it was a taped performance so she knows what worked and what didn’t. She also turned me into an honourary priest by adapting my black T shirt/suit ensemble with a bit of white card to act as a dog-collar – I might keep the look and work on a vicar character…. She finished off a belting set with her lady gaga parody which again was excellently executed and got great laughs – she’s a really great performer. Fantastic. And really nice as well.”

By Hazel A Speed, Executive Producer

“Having had the privilege of attending an event which culminated in the guest appearance of Sheila McMahon, I have no hesitation, whatsoever, in saying that I felt I was watching ‘a Star in Waiting’ as Sheila has what it takes to produce her own TV show. In my role as an Executive Producer of an animation project, (and many of my team are either celebrities and/or high profile in their chosen fields of expertise), I recognise quality in people as soon as I see it, and saw immediately that Sheila is a natural talent, extremely gifted both in music and comedy. She is also a very nice person. If I was a Record Producer or a TV Commissioning Editor, I would sign Sheila up straight away. It is going to happen, as Sheila is a natural successor to Catherine Tate and also a singer prime for launching a hit record and album”.

By Stafford Comedy Forum

“Multi-talented, Irish comedienne Sheila Mc Mahon made a stunning appearance at Juice Comedy’s Joxer Bradys venue on May 3rd 2010 and was easily the best act of the night. Sheila’s raucous act makes her one of the funniest shows on the comedy circuit.”

By Ken Rock, President, BSCW

“Sheila-M has been a great supporter of The British Society of Comedy Writers for several years. For the past five years Sheila has been an honorary member of the society and attended and performed at many of our high profile events. Sheila has the audience in the palm of her hand from the moment she steps onto the stage and leaves them rolling in the isles begging for more. Whether she is compering, singing or performing her hilarious stand-up act, Sheila-M always gives a 100% performance. Her Irish charm, versatility and originality marks her out as one of the brightest stars currently on the comedy circuit.”

By Zak Turner, Promoter

At The Hilarity House “Sheila-M had a fantastic gig, she played the crowd, was natural and responsive and had good, funny material which was unique to her own brand of stand-up. I would recommend her and shall be booking her again.”
